Loring Randolph, Director of Programming, Frieze New York added:

‘After a challenging year it’s so important – now more than ever – to support our artistic community, and this year’s curated program strives to address some of the most relevant conversations in art today. The Tribute to Professor Sarah Elizabeth Lewis and the Vision & Justice Project in collaboration with over 50 galleries and institutions will form one of the most extensive strands of programming ever achieved. At the same time the return of the Artist Award, Frieze Talks and our new collaborative exhibition with Acute Art and The Shed, really promise to engage our audiences – both at Frieze New York and via Frieze Viewing Room.’

‘The Looking Glass’: an exhibition of augmented reality (AR) artworks

‘The Looking Glass’, curated by Acute Art’s artistic director Daniel Birnbaum and The Shed’s chief curator Emma Enderby, is a large exhibition of augmented reality works presented in The Shed and the public area surrounding the building. The first chapter of this expanding exhibition, which opens on May 5 in collaboration with Frieze New York, premieres works by artists Precious Okoyomon, Cao Fei and KAWS. The works in this show are no doubt real, but not in the sense of tangible objects. Invisible to the naked eye, they come to life in your phone when you arrive at the right spot. Once caught on camera they appear as real as the environment around them. Precious Okoyomon presents two large animated flowers that read poetry. Cao Fei’s RMB City AR is a futuristic urban fantasy. KAWS’ COMPANION 2020 (EXPANDED) floats horizontally in the air seemingly pressed against an imaginary glass. Through the juxtaposition of physical and virtual worlds, the artworks in ‘The Looking Glass’, all visible through the free Acute Art app, convey a sense of surprise and wonder. The Shed and Acute Art will expand the exhibition with additional works on The Shed’s plaza in July.

Frieze Library: Volume Three

Organized in collaboration with Gordon Robichaux, the annual Frieze Library initiative invites Frieze New York’s participating galleries to each submit one arts publication to be donated to the Thomas J. Watson Library at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The resulting selection of digital and physical publications forms a snapshot of the current moment, as explored through the work of artists, writers and art professionals. This year’s publications will be on display at the fair and subsequently donated to the Thomas J. Watson Library; a bibliography of all contributions is available online on frieze.com.

Art:LIVE in collaboration with Deutsche Bank

Art:LIVE is a new broadcast and video program of accessible expert insights into recent developments in contemporary art and culture. Devised for audiences in a more distanced world, the content opens doors to inspiring spaces and important conversations, and offers exclusive access to artists, collectors, curators, and creatives in diverse fields.
