"As the anchor to New York's spring art fair frenzy, Frieze usually pulls out all the stops with a handful of Instagrammable kinetic artworks, wall-spanning abstract paintings that escape the confines of rectangular composition, and the unscheduled yet inevitable performance of a stray martini olive haplessly rolling in place on one of The Shed's many escalators. Each floor presents its own maze of booths divided up between megagalleries and mid-market dealers, with a curatorial emphasis on Central and South American exhibitors in this year's edition."
"including newcomers W-galería in Buenos Aires, which will showcase Seba Calfuqueo, and Mexico City's Campeche, which will present Abraham González Pacheco. Find them in the Focus section, dedicated to galleries 12 years old and younger, once again curated by Lumi Tan - typically one of the most unexpected and exciting areas of this massive show."
New York’s spring art fair week brings multiple major fairs, with Frieze running May 13–17 at The Shed in Hudson Yards. The fair is presented as a large, multi-floor maze of booths split between megagalleries and mid-market dealers. The curatorial emphasis includes Central and South American exhibitors, featuring newcomers from Buenos Aires and Mexico City. The Focus section highlights galleries 12 years old and younger and is curated by Lumi Tan, positioned as one of the most unexpected and exciting areas of the fair. The fair experience includes kinetic, Instagrammable works, wall-spanning abstract paintings that break rectangular composition, and spontaneous performances in the building’s public spaces.
