Frieze bums

Yes it’s Frieze time again! I went today and not surprisingly I’m exhausted now. It’s often described as a cattle market of contemporary art. This is true in a way but it’s also a brilliant way of getting your finger on the pulse of what’s going on in the art world…all over the world right now! This is stuff that hasn’t had a chance to be published yet or put in a museum yet. I particularly enjoyed the work of Huma Bhabha, Cathy Wilkes, Hayley Tompkins and
Mark Manders. What better way of researching of the moment art than seeing the best of what the best contemporary, commercial galleries in the world have to offer all under one collosal roof in the middle of Regents Park? Yes it’s overwhelming, yes it’s exhausting but it’s also one hell of an inspiring smorgasboard of art and well worth a look!
