Frieze New York 2013: Sounds Program Announced
Frieze is pleased to announce the artists participating in Frieze Sounds at Frieze New York 2013. Following the success of the inaugural series of commissions, this year’s Frieze Sounds program features three specially commissioned audio works by Trisha Baga, Charles Atlas and Mika Tajima, and Haroon Mirza. Frieze Sounds is a program of sound works presented with BMW. Frieze Sounds is programmed and curated by Cecilia Alemani.
Frieze Sounds 2013 will be premiered in the VIP cars at Frieze New York. The works will also be accessible via a listening station inside the fair and streamed online at friezenewyork.com.
Curator of the series Cecilia Alemani commented: ‘Last year Frieze Sounds captured visitors’ imaginations beyond my expectations. This year I wanted to commission artists who could use both the medium of sound and the journey to Randall’s Island as inspiration to metaphorically transport visitors up the East River. Each of the participants has taken a different approach to this brief: Trisha Baga will estrange everyday noise; Charles Atlas and New Humans will use their own voices whereas Haroon Mirza will employ the noise of the fair itself. I look forward to each of them and never making the same journey twice.’
Ludwig Willisch, President and CEO, BMW of North America, LLC said, ‘We are once again pleased to bring Frieze New York into our vehicles with Frieze Sounds,’ adding, ‘These specially commissioned works selected by Frieze heighten the VIP shuttle experience and can extend the fair visit to even include the drive home.’
Frieze New York 2013 takes place May 10–13, 2013 and presents over 180 of the world’s leading galleries. Designed by Brooklyn-based architects SO-IL, Frieze New York is housed in a bespoke temporary structure located in the unique setting of Randall’s Island Park, Manhattan, overlooking the East River. Frieze New York is sponsored by Deutsche Bank.
