frieze art fair

my other half had a day off today and took me to the frieze art fair in Regent's Park. lots of eye candy to see and about the same amount of what i consider rubbish... still, a nice afternoon out :) those are some of the decent pictures i managed to take. the highlight for me was David Shrigley's corner (last photo) > his work always makes me laugh ::::: plus some of the characters walking about ::::: hey, it's friday and i'm enjoying a fresh glass of wine now, have a fab weekend too!

20 notes:

aimee said...

that was my first question too - at first i couldn't tell if they were mannequins or surreally dressed people! well if there's any 'rubbish' here i don't see it - oh the wonderful things you get to see in london! my favorite is the last photo too!

●• Thereza said...

kristi: looks like a good brief, maybe i should do it... time, time...
aimee: well, i only took pictures of the bits i liked :)

HELLO TIGER! said...

I like David Shrigley. Thank you so much for sharing your photos!

Anna Betts said...

I wish I could've made it this year, it looks good - love the collection of hairstyles and of course David Shrigley's a legend. That paper baby is both amazing and slightly disturbing!

Lady P said...

i would have liked this jaunt to the art fair. i am giggling at the part where you found just as much was rubbish - and have the balls to say so

Christine said...

Sounds great. I love Shrigleys work too :)

suzie chaney said...

Esti said...

a mí me parecía todo bastante interesante, pero claro, me he dado cuenta de que no has sacado nada que no mereciera la pena y el espacio de un post (At first I thought everything looked so nice, but then I realized that you didn't post anything that wasn't worthy of the post space)

steve said...

Haha, yeah, I sometimes can't decide what is rubbish and what is not, and find myself strangely attracted to such art. Check out the site "Fecalface.com" to see what I,m talking about. Great photo rundown of the show Thereza!
