Frieze week and things ahoy


I'm very happy to be included in the next issue of Kaleidoscope magazine with a profile I wrote on Boychild. I've also written a list of highlights of Frieze week and London for their site that should hopefully be up soon (it ended up here on their facebook)

I did a run down of Frieze Week performance events for Artsy, profiled top 4 tech-influenced artist for Postmatter and did a top ten of the best things at the fair this week for Dazed Digital.

I'll also be doing instagram takeovers for Dazed Magazine, Spring Studios and at Roughversion - in case you fancy an immediate, varied tsunami of my week.

And here are 4 pop up things things outside of Frieze London and Frieze Masters that are worth checking out - because the world loves a list.

1) ICA Off-Site: The Old Selfridges Hotel
Anything you can - the programming is spot on.

2) Sunday Art Fair
A defunct website, barely a word to the press and still a fair that should not be missed!

3) PAD
It's my guilty pleasure. Come for a relaxed gawp at 20th century masters and euro-cash spenders

5) 1:54 Contemporary African Art Fair
Last year's debut was surprisingly good. A fair not to be forgotten

Rough Version Top 10 Art Instagram Feeds

I'm very aware of the rather bland art Instagram lists floating around at the moment. So I wanted to point out there is a world beyond the American cliches..... Mine is obviously @roughversion

1 Ken Kagami @kenkagami
It's the best one out there. It's that simple. Kagami is insanely prolific, funny, uses the forum briliantly and has a really kawaii little girl

2 Jayson Musson @jaysonmusson
I started supporting Jayson way back, putting him in shows and books since 2010. He likes the internet, the internet likes him.

3 Amalia Pica @amaliapica
Smart, international artist. Smart, international imagery.

4 David Noonan @davidnoonan
Everything is black and white in my fave Australian's feed. He also has a very cute black toy poodle...

5 Alistair Frost @ajcfrost
I love Frost's emoji stylisation (if you want more smileys i also recommend @thesmilefacemuseum and @obreuning)

6 Aaron Rose @allegedpress
Every post is Rose telling a joke in front of the Hollywood sign in LA. An artwork in itself.

7 Ed Atkins @warmspringmouths
My love of Mr Atkins' work is well established. I love his heads, hands, noses and general disembodiment. (It might be private too so oops)

8 Luca Lo Pinto @lucalopintoo
Curator and editor of Nero Lo Pinto again shows me good international European stuff that feels fresh to see.

9 Boychild @boychild
I've wrote a little profile on her out in the next issue of Kaleidoscope. Her feed is like an array of little futuristic Cindy Sherman self portraits.

10 I Call Bullshit @icallb
I'm slightly afraid to put this here as I'm sure they'd call me bullshit but this feed is gossipy NY bitchery and fun to read
