Deep Frieze: our pick of art fair highlights
Kiki Smith in the Sculpture Park
Kiki Smith’s sculptures are metaphorical and visceral. Recent work has particular emphasis on creating images using techniques associated with women’s work, such as 19th-century needlework. She’s also exhibited in the Solomon R Guggenheim museum and the Metropolitan museum of art.
Thomas Houseago
Houseago’s sculptures are a must-see. The sheer presence of his work is impressive and imposing. Houseago has also exhibited at the Saatchi Gallery.
Pierre Huyghe
French artist Pierre Huyghe has created an aquarium featuring a hermit crab for a Frieze project commissioned by director Sarah McCrory.
Cara Tolmie
Cara Tolmie will be exhibiting a performance every day just outside the fair. The London-based Scottish artist who works with the medium of video, sound and text, is one to watch.
Frieze film
Frieze Film commissions, which will also be shown on Channel 4, will be running during the show until Friday 14 October. Artists commissioned include Ed Atkins, Lutz Bacher, Anthea Hamilton, Judith Hopf and Katarina Zdjelar.
