Highlights from Frieze NY – Part 1

May 17, 2014

This stunning installation by artist Danh Vo, Massive Black Hole in the Dark Heart of Our Milky Way (2014), was hung from the ceiling of the Frieze NY tent rather than on the walls of the booth of Marian Goodman Gallery. The mobile consisted of flattened-out cardboard boxes onto which stars and stripes, the Coca Cola logo, and sections of German script from the fairy-tale classic Cinderella.

At Salon 94, Jayson Musson’s Flashe-vinyl abstract paintings riff on comic-book artist Ernie Bushmiller’s Nancy, a series that caricatures modern art and the art world. The theme of appropriation continues as Tom Sachs’s body of work on space exploration is presented by the intimately sculpted, white-slip ceramic pieces branded with NASA.
