Frieze New York 2012: Projects Announced

The eight artists who will participate in the inaugural Frieze Projects program for Frieze New York are: John Ahearn, Uri Aran, Latifa Echakhch, Joel Kyack, Rick Moody, Virginia Overton, Tim Rollins and K.O.S. and Ulla von Brandenburg. The Frieze Projects program is realized annually at Frieze New York and is curated by Cecilia Alemani.

Artists have been invited to respond to Randall’s Island’s unique geography. Forming a temporary pop-up village, the commissioned artworks will provide punctuation points to the island, activating vital sites or remote locations and providing a navigational tool for visitors to the fair and its environment.

Frieze Projects presents newly commissioned artworks by international artists. The artists commissioned by Frieze Projects will use Frieze New York as a site to realise ambitious ideas.

Frieze New York will take place 4–7 May 2012 in Randall’s Island Park, Manhattan.
