Fredericks & Freiser is pleased to announce an exhibition of new paintings and works on paper by
Lamar Peterson: Left Foot, Right Foot. With an active studio practice for more than twenty years, Peterson works in bright colors, subversive framing techniques, and bold figuration. Peterson’s new compositions represent a shift in the painter’s approach brought on by the Black Lives Matter protests and the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of the pandemic, Peterson was unable to access his studio for months. The artist drew regularly as means of process and creating. Peterson, who lives in Minneapolis less than a mile from where George Floyd was murdered, took up walking as a regular outlet. The artist’s adopted ambulatory practice was more than exercise. Rather, it became a mode of observing and processing: all over the world, people
Tribute to Vision & Justice Project and Founder Sarah Elizabeth Lewis
Frieze New York galleries and institutions respond to: ‘How are the arts responsible for disrupting, complicating, or shifting narratives of visual representation in the public realm?’
A central strand of Frieze New York 2021 programming is the Tribute to the
Vision & Justice Project and its founder, Sarah Elizabeth Lewis (Associate Professor at Harvard University). The Tribute will honour the exemplary work of the Vision & Justice Project, through an unprecedented engagement with the community of galleries participating at Frieze New York at The Shed and Frieze Viewing Room.
The Vision & Justice Project is rooted in education and is dedicated to examining art’s central role in understanding the relationship between race and citizenship in the United States. The intention of the Tribute is to explore this examination and expand the reach of the Vision & Justice Project, in o

What was your point of entry to design? My introduction to design was probably when I was in grammar school, as my mother pursued continuing education in design and fashion design. We moved to France when I was about twelve years old, and my exposure to the arts was a major imprint on my youth. Even though my undergraduate degree was in international relations and ethnic studies, I would somehow figure out a way to pursue the arts late into my studies. I moved to New York City after graduation and worked some jobs in publishing; moonlighted as a stylist’s assistant; interned at magazines, streetwear companies; and somehow found myself at the design consultancy 2x4, working under Michael Rock, Susan Sellers and Georgie Stout first as an intern, and then as a junior designer. They saw something in me that I didn’t even recognize at that point, and encouraged me to pursue graduate school at Yale University. That is where everything changed for me.
Kate Pincus-Whitney Feast In The Neon Jungle @ Fredericks & Freiser, NYC

Fredericks & Freiser is pleased to introduce an exhibition of new paintings by Kate Pincus-Whitney (b. 1993, lives and works in Los Angeles). Invested in the sociopolitical and emotive possibilities of the dining table, Pincus-Whitney creates maximalist still life scenes replete with colorful and textured objects of consumption. Whether spilling out onto fabric surrounded by florae or smothering a wooden tabletop, Pincus-Whitney populates her canvases with “things” from food and drinks, to books and candles, to various utensils and wares. Her cosmologies of both highly personal and universally recognizable subjects gesture towards the shared necessity of sustenance. They reimagine the still life as a form of narrative portraiture and harness the psychological power of the communal meal to tap into the collective un
