ABOUT

Israeli-born, New York-based artist Naama Tsabar works across different disciplines, including sculpture, installation and performance. Often conjuring gender and power issues, her practice relates to the space of communal gatherings, such as nightclubs and bars, as well as rituals of participation such as raves and concerts. For Frieze, she has conceived a mini music festival which will take place outside the fair in the bucolic landscape of Randall’s Island, the history of which is marked by frequent important musical events such as the legendary 1970 Jimi Hendrix concert. To build her stage, Tsabar will remove the floor from a booth inside the fair, transporting outdoors a fragment of the fair’s architecture. Every day, different local underground bands will be playing on the stage, activating the space outside the fair.

The music festival is curated by Mindy Abovitz, Editor-in-Chief of Tom Tom Magazine: the only magazine in the world dedicated to female drummers. The festival showcases mostly New York-based bands, crossing genres and exhibiting different levels of skill, supporting Tom Tom‘s agenda to dispel myths about women musicians.
