Jon Rafman

The work of Montreal-based Jon Rafman explores the role and impact of technology in contemporary society; he’s known for his inclusion of found images from Google Street View in previous online pieces. This week, Rafman brings his poignant commentary and romanticism to Frieze’s own set of projects. Rafman has transformed a booth into a secret movie theater to debut an erotic new video series featuring 3D animation.

Elaine Cameron-Weir

After her ambitious solo show at Venus Over Los Angeles, sculptor Elaine Cameron-Weir takes center stage at Frieze. Cameron-Weir uses a wide range of materials to build her sculptures that often have a futuristic bent. On the lawn outside of the fair itself, Cameron-Weir has built a military-style bunker. The interior of the bunker is filled with two neon pieces, visible only through an inconspicuous door.

Goodman Gallery

Goodman Gallery has put together a curation of recent work by Kiluanji Kia Henda, Mikhael Subotsky and Hank Willis Thomas—all of which subvert the colonial means of representation that have come to dominate Western culture. Mikhael Subotsky documents contemporary South Africa, while the Angolan Kiluanji Kia Henda stages photographs that reference the contemporary history of his country. One new work by Hank Willis Thomas, They are Us, Us is Them is also featured in the booth and discusses identity politics on a more conceptual level.

Anri Sala

At the Marian Goodman Gallery booth, Albanian artist Anri Sala has presented an intricate sound installation, Bridges in Doldrums, complete with altered snare drums, drumsticks, and speakers. Fresh off his comprehensive survey at the New Museum, Sala continues his interest in how sound and music relate to space, delivering a multi-layered sonic experience.

#SAVEtheNEA

In partnership with the Americans for the Arts Action Fund, Frieze New York is taking steps to help save the National Endowment for the Arts. According to President Trump’s proposed budget, the NEA, which supports and funds artistic projects, would be cut along with other crucial programs. Frieze is providing iPads at the fair for visitors to sign a petition and contribute to the Arts Action Fund. All contributions will be matched by Frieze itself.
