What grabbed us about this issue…
Issue 246 opens with Emily LaBarge’s profile of Tracey Emin ahead of her major show at White Cube Bermondsey. It’s a good moment to spend time with a practice that continues to provoke and the piece gives it the depth it deserves. The Alvin Ailey Festschrift is worth seeking out alongside it. Malik Gaines and Alastair Macaulay among others tracing the choreographer’s enduring legacy gives the tribute a range of perspectives that a single essay couldn’t manage.
Who’s Frieze for?
With a finish that feels closer to a catalogue than throwaway read, Frieze is one to reach for when you want to find out more about the contemporary art scene. It’s timely, with advertisements and reviews that point you towards projects that are happening now. Think of it as an exhibition guide, interspersed with longer pieces and artist profiles that sit with an idea a little more. It’s one we return to for its way of looking at art without overcomplicating it.
