Frieze Art Fair London
October 12 - October 15
5 September 2006
Dear friends of the gallery,
The fourth edition of the Frieze Art Fair will take place from 12 - 15 October. Our gallery will participate for the third time and we thought you might be interested in getting some detailed information.
Our stand number is E 2 and our stand telephone number is: +41 79 205 5286.
We will show new works by the following artists: Rita Ackermann, Francis Al˙s, Willie Doherty, Zilla Leutenegger, Hanna Liden, Jorge Macchi, Teresa Margolles, Claudia & Julia Müller, Lucy Orta, Adrian Paci, Melanie Smith and Andro Wekua.
The opening hours are: Thursday October 11 Professional Preview 2pm-6.30pm, Private View 6.30-9pm, Friday 13 - Sunday 15 October 11am-6pm.
A limited number of invitations for the Professional Preview and a limited number of 1 Day Passes are available upon request from the gallery.
In the Frieze Art Yearbook there will be two articles published on Adrian Paci (*1969), who will show a new series of paintings, as well as a text on Melanie Smith (*1965). In his video and photographic works Adrian Paci rarely strays far from home. For an Albanian living in Italy this often involves conceptual leaps across the highly policed Adriatic. His subjects have included his infant daughter’s memory of civil unrest, a portrait of an academically trained painter turned forger in a market stall, and day-workers holding globes lit by generators on the steps of a town square. While compelling personal narratives often provide starting-points, Paci’s works are meditations on proximity and distances, the representational politics of pointing the lens and how one frames ‘documentary’. (DE) Since moving to Mexico from Britain in 1989 Melanie Smith has based her practice on the contrasts and contradictions of the country she now calls home. Her earlier assemblages of cheap and cheerful found objects often became paintings or photographs, and more recently her photography has been a departure point for both abstract and figurative paintings. Smith’s eclectic eye for material and media is reminiscent of Arte Povera and reflects her interest in resourcefulness born of economic necessity. Her recent series of aerial photographs of Mexico City reveals the clusters of tanguis – improvised street bazaars – that spring up between buildings; it also prompted a subsequent series of abstract paintings.
