__MA Fine Art Camberwell Frieze Art Fair 13th October 2011__

"Disgusting"

(Gavin Brown, Gavin Brown Enterprises, NYC see [|Jerry Saltz in Village Voice, 2005])

I understand that a visit to Frieze Art Fair might elicit a mixed reaction. We are going because as makers of contemporary art we need to be informed about the places it occupies, but that doesn’t necessarily mean we’ll enjoy it! I shall be interested to hear about your responses and whether you will feel ‘existentially adrift’ like Jerry Saltz did in 2005 (see article below) or excited by the amount and range of the art on display or somewhere in between. The idea is to reflect on this kind of forum for art and work out how you might relate to it as an artist. At the Fair I would like you to: 1. Individually find 1 or 2 artists that you didn’t know about before and whose work you are interested in. Make a note of their names and take an image(if permissable). 2. Show your group the artist(s) you have discovered and tell them why you have chosen them. 3. Find a gallery/curator that you think you can envisage working with in, say, five years time. Where would your work fit ? Why? Who runs that gallery? What are the gallery/curator’s ? 4. Please show the image you have taken – or one taken from internet or other sources - of the ‘discovered artist’ as the last slide in your presentation next week. 5. Please upload the name of the chosen gallery/curator on this page. Have fun. RF Damien or I will meet each group by the ticket stall just before the entry time to give out tickets. <span class="Normal__Char" style="font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none;">· 2pm Group 1: Thomas, Liana, Barbora, Jack, Robina <span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span class="Normal__Char" style="font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none;">· 4pm Group 2: Cadi, Eirini, Clare, Rachel, Betty <span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span class="Normal__Char" style="font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none;">· 4pm Group 3: Sanna, Gin, Monika, Arianna, Steven <span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span class="Normal__Char" style="font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none;">· 4pm Group 4: James M, Sasha, Kirsty, Sam, Kim <span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span class="Normal__Char" style="font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none;">· 4pm Group 5: Sue, James E, Marta, Alice, Giang <span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span class="Normal__Char" style="font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none;">· 5pm Group 6: Philip, Christopher, Jane, Emily <span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">& Group 7 : Manuel, Billy, George

GALLERI MAGNUS KARLSSON This is a Swedish gallery, focusing on artists and themes that stand out, in the sense that their choices do not feel very mainstream. They show a great selection of women artists using a range of media, like Amy Cutler and Klara Kristalova. My feeling is that they really do care a bout the art that they show, and the work is curated and put together with sensitivity and a respect. [] The gallery presented large scale charcoal drawings having quite a strong effect; I found couple of interesting artists on their website The Breeder, Athens. The gallery dealt with interesting themes through a wide variety of art forms. They seemed to have an intriguing eye for a slightly raw aspect in the art works.

 * Ingleby Gallery Edinburgh**. This gallery showed work to which I could relate. They had not succombed to the Frieze tendency to focus on brash eye-catching pieces. The work on show was of a high quality and arranged in a thoughtful way in tune with its content.They said that they specialised in 'cool abstraction' and that they were interested in ideas.
 * Annet Gelink Amsterdam.** This gallery, which Time Out called 'Amsterdam's cutting edge gallery', showed work in a wide range of different media by artists from Cuba, South America and Europe, including the UK (Roger Hions). I liked the informal approach, the keen eye, and the mixture of the overtly political (Yael Bartana) and the understated (Carlos Amorales). They have a really impressive list of artists with whom they collaborate, notably Marina Abramovic. What's not to like?
 * Lehmann Maupin, New York.** A big wig in the New York art scene, renowned for bringing in some big names. I was impressed by how thoughtfully curated and well placed the works were. I was especially moved by DO HO SUH's stitched work, which was both inquisitive and subtle.
 * Broadway 1602.** The gallery represents international artists from New York, Warsaw, Berlin and London who work, amongst others, in the media of photography, film, video art and installation. The gallery focuses particularly on women artists and I find this very encouraging.

 * // List of Galleries/Projects (& why you selected them) //**
 * Galerija Gregor Podnar: Supports Internationally renowned and emerging artists and provides information about the artists, promoting forthcoming shows in this gallery and elsewhere. Galleries in Berlin and Ljubljana (Slovenia).
 * The Approach: Small Gallery, hidden above a pub showing the work of established and emerging artists. The building/interior architecture and journey from street to gallery (through pub) would be interesting to play with.
 * Galeria Gregor Podnar: Interested in various different mediums; this gallery supports sculpture, drawing, film, and installation. I felt they all carried an ephemeral theme, and each of the works were very tactile and delicate. The gallery itself opened in 2003, and supports young emerging artists as well as renowned established artists.
 * Sutton Lane Gallery: Minimalist artists' and curated nicely. This gallery supports artists' working in 2 and 3 dimensions, who have an interest in the materiality of objects.
 * Wilkinson Gallery: Primarily contemporary painting. Strong visual resonance. Work seemed narrative and allegorical. East London location.
 * Jack Hanley (New York):I liked the work this gallery was showing (Erwin Wurm's dill pickles and Bernhard Fuchs' photos of cars and trucks). The gallery's been around since 1990 and shows some very established artists so, no doubt, completely unrealistic. I looked in the 'Frame' section at Frieze where the galleries were less then six years old but each one was only showing one artist so it was difficult to get a sense of the galleries' own identities.
 * Office Baroque Gallery Antwerp: I liked the emphasis on the content of the work and not purely a commercial gallery.
 * Hotel: based in east London, relatively young (established 2003). Broad range of contemporary artists, showing established artists as well as nurturing new talent. Artists represented include David Noonan and Steve Claydon.
 * [|Frieze Projects]: I am interested in the projects commissioned by Frieze Foundation. Artist are invited by the curator of Frieze Projects to develop a site specific work for the fair. The projects offer an interesting non-commercial counter balance to the rest of fair.
 * [|Paul Kasmin Gallery]: this gallery is more focus on primarily contemporary painting, strong responsibility on collection, and I like the artist was selected by this gallery( Andy Warhol, David Horkney and Mark Ryden).
 * [|BQ-Berlin]: BQ showed Friedrich Kunath's solo exhibition in the narrative way.His works were so suitable in that space, and I hope my work to present in the story room.
 * [|Cabinet]: They had work of many things I liked - curiosity cabinets,drawing,text, painting. It seemed like an inquisitive space.
 * Frith Street Gallery. The work was stunning, very sculptural and physical - a high gallery to aim for!!
 * ===== I found the task of finding a gallery quite difficult. The galleries defining characteristics seemed to disappear within the frieze space. However, with further research after the show I found the David Kordansky gallery space interesting. =====
 * [|Aizpuru Gallery] A very well curated space and lots of provocative work / artists on show. They represent some very well know artists and juxtapose them with less established artists.
 * Andrea Rosen Gallery had an undercurrent of warmth in their artworks, in the layout of the stand and in the staff. Their website adds that they are "unafraid of actually being beautiful".
