Frieze Projects 2012
Randall’s Island, New York
May 4 - 7, 2012
Uri Aran, Latifa Echakhch, Joel Kyack, Rick Moody, Virginia Overton, Tim Rollins and K.O.S., Ulla von Brandenburg, and a special tribute to Fashion Moda by John Ahearn
Artists have been invited to react to the exceptional surroundings of the site and to create special projects that respond to the island’s unique geography, referencing its history, questioning its geographical location, or evoking its social complexities at the cross-section of three deeply different areas – East Harlem, South Bronx, and Queens. Forming a temporary pop-up village, the commissioned artworks function as provisional landmarks and as participatory platforms, activating vital sites and remote locations and enticing the viewer to explore the fair and its environment.
