Frieze week

New York City area had the annual art fair take over this past week.  We just hit up the Frieze this time around.  We took the ferry from E 35th street over to Randall’s Island instead of driving this year.  The parking was limited this year due to construction so this was the way to go.  Really nice taking a ferry up the east river and seeing the city from that vantage point.  Water transportation will be bigger and better in years to come.

We got there around 1130 and stayed until almost 4.  It was a long long day but fun.  Here is the highlights of what we saw.  It began with a Fred Wilson.

Pamela Rosenkranz

Idelle Weber

Yayoi Kusama

Walton Ford

For the first time an installation with actors

Los Carpentiros

Tomas Saraceno

Mark Dion

Thomas Broome

Dog installations were at a few spots in a multi-media installation by Heather Phillipson

Joe Goode

We had lunch at Marlow and Sons.  Quite civilized sitting down, having someone take your order, have some orders and a glass of rose.

Anish Kapoor

Damien Hirst

Did not get this artists name either but I really thought this was a very cool installation of all these dolls

Mika Rottenberg.  This is pretty awesome.  You peer into the lips and see a video of lip images doing a variety of things.

This heavy iron piece would be great in an outdoor garden

Loved these.

Frying up some eggs

Dumpling cart

Maurizio Cattelan installation.  Yes, live donkey

Hoops

Live in the moment, David Shrigley

Lots of kids there getting involved which is really great to see.  I saw kids with cameras and kids really checking out art.

That pretty much sums it up.  The place was packed, people were taking in the art and the people watching was fantastic.
