What grabbed us about this issue…
Issue 240 opens with the politics of producing, exhibiting and critiquing Black figurative art and we enjoyed how directly the issue engages with it. The conversation between Marina Rosenfeld and Meredith Monk is also worth seeking out. A composer in dialogue with an artist whose own practice spans music, movement and voice makes for a more layered exchange than either would produce alone. If you’re interested in feminist art history, the Women in Revolt! exhibition at Tate Britain gets the critical attention it deserves here.
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.
