Paramount Picture Studios rolled out the red carpet for the inaugural edition of Frieze Los Angeles (15-17 February). Bolstered by a star-studded host committee that also included art-world heavyweights, the fair tapped wHY architect Kulapat Yantrasast to design a bespoke structure while artists took over the studio’s backlot to conjure an artificial New York City for Frieze Projects. Here are the highlights from the fair’s West Coast offshoot
American artist Hannah Greely left visitors to Paramount Picture Studios high and dry – literally – with her site-specific installation for Frieze Projects. The playful work riffs on the domestic routines commonly seen in urban neighbourhoods (including the faux Brooklyn residential block it inhabits for the fair). Suspended from clotheslines spanning the fire escapes and windows of two apartment buildings, Greely’s handmade, cartoon-like paintings of clothing items, as well as airborne objects such as clouds and helicopters, enhance the simulated environment adding an extra layer of wonder.

Up, up and away! Inflatables were on the rise at the LA fair, from Paul McCarthy’s Daddies Tomato Ketchup Inflatable (2007) at Frieze Projects, to Jeppe Hein’s Throat Mirror Balloon (2018) at König Galerie’s booth.

The LA sculptor has reimagined the ephemerality of his earlier work, rendering five new pieces in weather-resistent materials and at a larger scale than ever before. ‘Outdoor Sculpture’ (installation view pictured) is on view until 2 March.

Los Angeles stalwart David Kordansky Gallery dedicated its Frieze stand to a solo presentation by Kathryn Andrews. The booth features a new series of wall-based works (pictured) alongside sculptures, which take the 1947 murder of Elizabeth Short (more famously known as the Black Dahlia) as a point of departure. Andrews’ work delves into the use – and by extension misuse – of the female body within Hollywood’s image-making culture.

‘They’re only young once, so take this opportunity to give them a room they’ll remember forever.’ This was the slogan – plucked from a magazine – that inspired Mike Kelley’s 1999 installation Unisex Love Nest. It challenged gender stereotypes of the time by reframing a child’s bedroom as a gender neutral retreat. Twenty years after its creation, the work is being presented in the late artist’s hometown (and the place where it was conceived) for the first time, taking over the entirety of Hauser Wirth’s stand at the fair.

In the Paramount Pictures Studios’ backlot, the Deutsche Bank ArtSpace will present UK performance artist Tom Pope’s interactive One Square Club. Measuring just one square metre, it is billed as the world’s smallest and most exclusive private members’ club, with facilities including a bar, music and games. Members of the One Square Club are also participating in an experimental artwork, with Pope as its bombastic host and actively shape how their time is spent and how the experience unfolds.

American artist Lisa Anne Auerbach is reflecting on New York City’s apartment-based psychics, and the ubiquitous neon ‘psychic’ signs that signal their presence. In Psychic Art Advisor (2019), Auerbach will merge two professions into one: psychic advisor and art advisor. Her services will be available for clients seeking creative and commercial advice relating to the business of art. Visitors can schedule appointments in advance, or on site at the fair.

Cayetano Ferrer is another artist to create a site-specific installation for Frieze Projects. His dynamic wall piece will evoke the Big Apple’s vernacular architecture and signage.

With I touched a cactus flower (2019), Sarah Cain continues her anarchic approach to painting by transforming the set of a classic New York City brownstone apartment. The immersive Frieze Projects installation features her signature style of abstraction, as well as a new work in stained glass. In addition, a bespoke chocolate created in collaboration with LA-based andSons will be offered to visitors each afternoon, reflecting the vices Cain turns to in the studio. Photography: Mark Blower.
