What grabbed us about this issue…
Issue 241 opens with a celebration of David Hoyle and we enjoyed how the magazine gives the artist and performer the kind of dedicated attention he deserves. If you’re interested in craft as a form of resistance, the feature on textiles as outrage and testimony is worth seeking out. We also kept coming back to the conversation between Leronn Brooks and Nari Ward on devotion, craft and collective imagination. Two voices in dialogue is a more generative format than the solo profile and it shows 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.
