Laurent Muller parties with les artistes after Frieze





And yet another edition of Frieze comes to an end. Now in it´s seventh edition, the art fair welcomed more than 150 galleries, evolving between a taste of neo-arte povera, glam-pop and the strong ‘classic values’. 


Where do the emerging artists go? To fight the credit crunch or refuse to go thinner, this year a whole section was dedicated to them: Frame. Unframed would have been appropriate, with its un-carpeted cheap raw floor and its lot of free spirited explorations. I value the very high quality video installations that, in my opinion, led the show, creating an actual bridge between our complex consciousnesses. 

On one of the evenings of this past week, I embarked in a crazy journey with friends and ended up at Dreams, 2dreams or maybe more… not sure of the club’s address at this point. I hadn’t take part in such a conglomerate of fizz-bubble-thickEyeglass personas in a long time. 


Was it the London art scene or Friezeland Underground Avenue? All ages mixed and finally the pseudo-archetypal-artist-look was destroyed: is freedom back?


Not sure if we all found our fairy on the night but the electric voice performance transported me to a festive neon-blue village square. 


Hmm, Human after all!
