Frieze Projects 2012: Grizedale Arts / Yangjiang Group
For Frieze London, Grizedale Arts and Frieze Foundation host a programme of food-related performance, discussion, representation and retail. Including new commissions by artists Alistair Frost, juneau/projects, Nicolas Party, William Pope.L and Bedwyr Williams, talks by food historians and specialists, and unique dining opportunities, the project is enclosed in a bespoke structure built by Yangjiang Group. Modelled as a cross between a Roman amphitheatre and a cricket pavilion, it allows viewers to watch events unfold from the ground or a platform above. Around the circumference of the structure, artists, community groups and eccentrics present stalls selling home produce and proposing ideas for alternative eating.
