Frieze art fair

Regent's Park, London

The seventh edition of the leading international contemporary art fair, sponsored by Deutsche Bank, takes place in London from 15-18 October 2009.

World’s top contemporary art galleries
165 of the world’s most exciting contemporary art galleries, representing 30 countries, will present new work by over 1,000 of the world’s most innovative artists at Frieze Art Fair.

A fresh and exciting addition for 2009 will be the first presentation of Frame, a new section within the fair dedicated to solo artist presentations. Frame will show 29 young galleries from around the world that have been in existence for less than six years. The galleries’ selection has been advised by curators Daniel Baumann and Sarah McCrory.

Taking place in the beautiful setting of Regent’s Park in a large temporary structure of approximately 21,000 square metres, Frieze Art Fair 2009 is designed for the second year running by renowned architects Caruso St John.

Frieze Projects
Frieze Projects presents art that regards the particular circumstances of Frieze Art Fair as an opportunity to create work that could not exist elsewhere. This year’s seven projects create aesthetic opportunity out of the uncertainty that has become the hallmark of our troubled times; whether taking the form of grand architectural obstruction or finding new ways of protesting, authenticating or motivating our relationship to the objects we make, look at and buy. Mike Bouchet will provide a motivational speaker for the populace of Frieze Art Fair; UK-based collaborators Kim Coleman & Jenny Hogarth will create a seamless projection of stage-managed and live events filmed at the fair, transforming the exposition into a mise-en-scene featuring unwitting visitors, gallerists and art fair workers; working alongside Resonance104.4fm radio Ruth Ewan will broadcast the entire contents of A Jukebox of People Trying to Change the World, started in 2003, the artist’s collection of around 1,500 politically motivated or idealistic songs now lasts for the exact duration of the Fair; Ryan Gander will set up an (almost) instant photo studio to make portraits of visitors to the fair looking at an artwork of their choice. The portrait will be printed immediately, given to the subjects and a copy will be hung in an installation along the entrance corridor to the fair; Per-Oskar Leu will arrange an impossible event at the fair – a book signing by Franz Kafka, 85 years after his death. Since none of Kafka’s novels were published during his lifetime, this book signing will be his first; Monika Sosnowska will present a major structural intervention in which a large, heavy object crashes into the roof of the fair. Taking the form of a scale model of the infamous Palace of Culture in Warsaw – a ‘gift’ to the Polish people from the USSR – Sosnowska’s project is a kind of cultural meteorite, the imposition of one cultural edifice onto another; Stephanie Syjuco will set up a parasitic workshop in which a small group of artists will make bootleg copies of other works exhibited in the fair. The artists will use basic and inexpensive materials and will work in a gallery stand at the fair in full view of visitors. The copies will be displayed in an adjacent gallery stand.

This year’s European Partners are the Contemporary Arts Centre, Vilnius, and curators Filipa Oliveira and Miguel Amado for Arte Contempo, Lisbon. Resonance 104.4fm will again be broadcasting live from the fair. Frieze Projects is curated by Neville Wakefield and presented in association with Cartier.

Frieze Talks
John Baldessari, Roger Hiorns, Hella Jongerius, Sylvère Lotringer and Agnès Varda, all form part of the international line-up of highly respected artists, filmmakers, designers, curators and cultural commentators making up Frieze Talks 2009, which is programmed by the Co-Editors of frieze Jennifer Higgie and Jörg Heiser and Senior Editor, Dan Fox. This year’s panels, conversations and keynote lectures will discuss, illustrate, perform and argue some of the myriad issues prevailing in the world of art and visual culture today. There are 12 talks in total this year, one of which is a project by Mike Bouchet.

The Cartier Award
American artist Jordan Wolfson is the fourth winner of The Cartier Award. Wolfson is an American conceptual artist, based in Berlin and New York and will present an intervention based on String Theory entitled Your Napoleon. Using the intricacies of quantum physics to navigate the complex structures of the fair, Wolfson’s project extends his transformations of culture and recent history into a unique conceptual language. The project will consist of guided tours that visitors can sign up to, and be guided by a string theorist. Each tour, strictly limited to one person at a time, is led by a scientist. The tours are recorded and transcribed to form the basis of an ever-changing, ever-growing script that will be re-enacted in Regent’s Park from Thursday 15 October to Monday 19 October.

Frieze Film
Frieze Film 2009 presents a newly commissioned project in four parts by Danish artist- activists Superflex, The Financial Crisis (Session I–IV). Taking as their inspiration a passage in Lars von Trier’s film Epidemic, Superflex’s new films will approach the economic crisis as a psychosis to be treated therapeutically. Subjects will undergo hypnosis to take them through the various stages of a financial meltdown. Frieze Film is being shown each day of the fair and on Channel 4’s ‘3 Minute Wonder’ slot from Monday 12 October to Thursday 15 October at 7.55pm. In previous years collaborations between Frieze Film and Channel 4’s ‘3 Minute Wonder’ slot have averaged audiences in excess of one million viewers.

Frieze Music
Frieze Music 2009 will be a performance conceived and choreographed by Turner Prize- winning artist Martin Creed. Co-commissioned by Frieze Music and Sadler’s Wells, Work No. 1020 will be performed at Sadler’s Wells during Frieze Art Fair 2009. This will be the first time that Creed has created a dance piece. Taking inspiration from Les Ballets Russes’ collaborations, Work No. 1020 will use music that Creed himself has composed. The work will be performed by five classically trained dancers at Sadler’s Wells’ Lilian Baylis studio on Friday 16 to Sunday 18 October.

Sculpture Park
This year’s Sculpture Park presents work by a broad spectrum of artists, including some of the most acclaimed international sculptors. Louise Bourgeois’ selected work, The Couple, 2003, is the largest in a series of hanging aluminium sculptures by the artist. Eva Rothschild, whose work has just been seen as the most recent Duveens’ commission at Tate Britain, will show a new work created specially for Frieze Art Fair, Someone and Someone, 2009. Artist Graham Hudson will make history at Frieze Art Fair this year. Edward VIII remains the only monarch since Elizabeth I not to have a statue or monument of commemoration in England; Hudson’s sculpture changes that. Underlining the established relationship between Frieze Art Fair and the Royal Parks, one of the Sculpture Park works will retain a place in the English Gardens long after Frieze week is over. American artist Paul McCarthy’s work, Henry Moore Bound to Fail (Bronze), 2004 is an homage to the oeuvre of Henry Moore and will remain on display for six months.

Frieze Education
Continuing its relationship with ReachOutRCA at the Royal College of Art for the second year running, Frieze Education aims to establish a strong legacy for the children and young people that take part, providing a highly ambitious, imaginative and critical exploration of Frieze Art Fair. Working with students from four inner-London schools, the Frieze Education Programme 2009, sponsored by Deutsche Bank, concentrates on sculpture and Frieze Projects at Frieze Art Fair, exploring them in their different manifestations. Taking place annually in the Deutsche Bank Education Space within the Fair, Frieze Education encompasses workshops for schools, a weekend public programme, a young person’s printed guide to Frieze Art Fair and an online resource. Over 300 children participated in Frieze Education in 2008.

The Stand Prize
The first Frieze Art Fair Stand Prize, sponsored by Champagne Pommery, will be judged by Peter Eleey (Curator at the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis), Susanne Gaensheimer (Director of the Museum fur Modern Kunst, Frankfurt/Main) and Margot Heller (Director of the South London Gallery, London). A prize of £10,000 will go to the most innovative gallery stand at the fair. The prize will be awarded on the afternoon of Wednesday 14 October.

The Outset Fund
2009 marks the seventh anniversary of the successful collaboration between Outset, Frieze Art Fair and Tate. This unique partnership, based on the generosity of Outset, a charitable foundation focused on supporting new art, enables Tate to buy important work by emerging artists at the fair for the national collection. With a fund of more than £775,000, 72 works by 45 significant international artists have been collected since 2003. The selection panel for 2009 will consist of Sir Nicholas Serota, Director, Tate; Tate Curators Frances Morris, Jessica Morgan and Ann Gallagher; Hou Hanru, Curator, San Francisco Art Institute and Joanna Mytkowska, Curator, Warsaw Museum of Modern Art.

The Fund is organized and financed by Outset Contemporary Art Fund and enjoys sponsorship from Le Méridien. The donors to Outset all have a particular interest in enabling Tate’s acquisition of emerging and contemporary art, and we are very grateful to all the participants for their generosity.

Hix Oyster Bar and Restaurant at Frieze Art Fair Internationally renowned chef and restaurateur Mark Hix will bring Hix Oyster Bar and Restaurant to Frieze Art Fair for the first time. Mark Hix will be running the restaurant at the fair, offering a selection of classic British dishes. The menu will include Hix favourites such as lamb cutlets ‘reform’ and wing rib of beef to share, as well as Mark’s own ‘Hix Cure’ smoked salmon and a variety of oysters.
