The art world is a small world, and major art fairs are like mini-reunions throughout the year. It’s our time to gather together and catch up with artists, colleagues, and friends from around the world. It’s a time to see what’s new from artists we love and to rediscover artists we may have forgotten. And it’s a time to swap stories, schedule studio visits, meet up with old friends, and meet new ones. And what’s better than a friend who’s in the know? So as Frieze opens, we caught up with some art world insiders to see what they’ll be looking for at the fairs and around town.

This strange paradox serves as the impetus for In a Post-World: Post-Punk Art Now, a group exhibition organized by Canadian creative organization Pesot, held at The Invisible Dog Art Center in Brooklyn.

Die Jubiläums-Ostrale konzentriert sich aufs Kerngeschäft. Ihr Motto „error:x“ kokettiert mit der Computersprache, aber digitale bzw. virtuelle Welten sind nicht ihr Hauptfeld. Sie zeigt in erster Linie Bilder, die meist malerisch erscheinen, auch wenn es sich um Fotografien handelt: das Dokumentarische spielt kaum eine Rolle.

“I think that there is an opportunity in next few years for Detroit to change the global dialogue about how our world and our communities can collectively transform themselves into a new generation contending with new industrial and environmental challenges,” artist Glenn Kaino told Artinfo at Culture Lab Detroit, a two-day symposium exploring how art and architecture can tackle systemic issues such as urban blight and economic disparity — national issues laid bare in Detroit.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then surely an exhibition of public art clocks is somewhere in the tens of thousands. Maybe more.
