Beijing, Hong Kong artists among headliners at Frieze London show
"Flashing, pop-like imagery; visual and auditory narrations; installations that extend into three dimensions, the artist's fantastical animation world－these are elements of Wong Ping's practice that express his observations of society, from childhood to adulthood, using a visual language that sits on the border of shocking and amusing," according to the Hong Kong gallery.
There is a specific section of Frieze entitled Social Work, dedicated to women artists who were active during the 1980s and 1990s and challenged the status quo. Artists whose work is on display include Nancy Spero from the United States and Britain's Helen Chadwick.
The Frieze Film program questions systems that control and influence the dissemination of information, organizers said. Frieze Talks will be co-programmed for the first time by Lydia Yee, chief curator of Whitechapel Gallery. Highlights include multimedia storytelling and a conversation with US musician, artist and filmmaker Laurie Anderson.
The Frieze Masters section will bring together more than 130 international galleries presenting work depicting six millennia of art history from across the world.
