I bought the ticket to go – as usual – to Frieze Art Fair 2008 .
Frieze Art Fair takes place every October in Regent’s Park, London. It features around 150 of selected contemporary art galleries in the world. The fair also includes specially commissioned artists’ projects. One of the projects from american artist Cory Arcangel striked my attention. She has intervened in the fair’s gallery selection process. Arcangel hid a golden ticket inside one of hundreds of chocolate bars which were sent to all the galleries who were unsuccessful in their application to this year’s fair. The italian Studiò di Giovanna Simonetta was the finder of the golden ticket and will be allocated a stand at the fair.
That’s reminded me also a big lesson from one of my greek philosophical teacher: either you are lucky or not. very simple.
More projects 2008 from Foundation: Pavel Büchler, Ceal Floyer, Tue Greenfort, Sharon Hayes, Jeppe Hein, Norma Jeane, Agnieszka Kurant, Bert Rodriguez, Allen Ruppersberg, Andreas Slominski.
see you soon.
