After more than a year without art fairs, Frieze New York is back. But this highly anticipated pandemic-era edition looked a little different. Rather than setting up shop in the usual sprawling tent on Randall’s Island, some 60 international galleries occupied the Shed, the multidisciplinary performing arts space in Hudson Yards on Manhattan’s West Side. Visitors, of course, were also subject to strict COVID-19 guidelines. Despite these tweaks, it was a pleasure to leave the house and see such an abundance of art and people outside of a museum. And though the in-person show closed to the public May 9, you can still take part through Frieze’s expanded virtual viewing room of 160 exhibitors through Friday, where you can watch interviews with archite

There’s been no shortage of grumbling about the never-ending parade of virtual art fairs and about how “online viewing rooms” (or OVRs) are, really, just another website. Nevertheless, dealers and collectors alike appeared this week to be enthusiastically embracing the virtual edition of the high-profile French fair known as FIAC (Foire Internationale d’Art Contemporain).
The VIP preview days started on March 2 before the fair “opened” to the broader public on March 4. (It runs through Sunday, March 7.) After a full-year of lockdown, it appears both organizers and exhibitors have been stepping up their game when it comes to online presentations.
Dallas curator Brandon Kennedy says the art scene needs to ‘come up with new models’
After wearing many hats, including at the Dallas Art Fair, Kennedy has landed at Galerie Frank Elbaz and is speaking candidly about his unconventional life in art.

With a résumé as stacked as Brandon Kennedy’s, it almost helps to ask what job he hasn’t had around Dallas. He was for a time the most public figure at the Dallas Art Fair, after working in rare books and contemporary art for Heritage Auctions and Dallas Auction Gallery, respectively.
