Frieze Art Fair 2008

I am working at Frieze Art Fair again this year, it is really mad and really fun and full of great work. The private view was full of celebs including Gwyneth Paltrow, Lily Allen, George Michael, Emma Watson and artists Orlan, Grayson Perry, Ryan Gander, Wolfgang Tillmans and of course, Tracey Emin (to name a fair few!)
Some of the Frieze Projects are excellent this year, the ones you shouldn't miss out on are; Ceal Floyers interventions under every table leg at the north cafe (by Resonance FM, see picture above) Norma Jean's smoking booths, which I thought would be really gimmicky but are incredibly subtle and clever, and Corey Archangel's Golden Ticket gallery - Studiò di Giovanna Simonetta (even though they didn't bring the golden ticket with them!)
oh and Kling and Bang have brought over SIRKUS bar from Reyjavik as the spot it was on was bought and demolished for space for property. It's awesome and the music is great and it's so so strange and it looks exactly like it did in situ!

It's on till sunday, 11 to 7pm (6pm on sunday) in a huge tent in Regents Park.
