Caught My Eye: London
Glenn Ligon‘s exhibition Call and Response at Camden Art Centre should be seen by any London visitor. The artist’s 2014 neon work (Bruise/Blues) is inspired by Steve Reich’s tape-loop sound piece entitled Come Out, which utilizes the recorded interview of one of the six teenagers arrested for murder in the Harlem riot of 1964. Ligon alludes to a particular event: when the nervous teenager describes the injuries inflicted by the police, he mixes up his words and says “blues” instead of “bruise.” Stand-outs specifically at Frieze London include:
- Thomas Demand‘s Wallpaper, Tomás Saraceno‘s sculpture, and Daniel Steegmann Mangrane‘s floor piece at Esther Schipper
- Diana Al-Hadid pieces at Marianne Boesky Gallery
- Mark Hagen at Almine Rech Gallery
- Vik Muniz match box car at Pace Gallery
