Frieze New York 2012 @ Randall's Island
This year's Frieze New York project will be held at Randall's Island. The project will encompass work done by eight different artists and their interpretation of the surroundings. These exhibits will also act as checkpoints for the Frieze Art Fair, doubling as a navigational tool for visitors. The artists chosen for this year's project are John Ahearn, Uri Aran, Latifa Echakhch, Joel Kyack, Rick Moody, Virginia Overton, Tim Rollins and K.O.S., and Ulla von Brandenburg. Event curator, Cecilia Alemani, speaks of the thoughtfully chosen location and how it will affect the exhibit, "Randall’s Island offers a stunning backdrop to the Frieze Projects: the invited artists have responded to the site by presenting a series of works that play with the unique landscape...this year’s Frieze Projects will transform Randall’s Island into a fantasy world."
