The fair included over 170 of the world’s leading galleries housed in a distinct snake-shaped structure, designed by New York-based SO – IL architects that was as impressive as the art it held. Hear from Frieze co-founder Amanda Sharp, Frieze Projects Curator Cecilia Alemani, co-principal of SO – IL architects Jing Liu, as they preview this year’s Frieze NY experience, building momentum and excitement for it, with focus on the 2013 curatorial projects. The conversation will be moderated by Renaud Proch. In 2012, Jerry Speyer observed, “Frieze New York is a perfect example of what the combination of intellect and creativity can dare to imagine, and then accomplish to the delight of the people  who were lucky enough to attend. The location provided a unique backdrop for this event. The architectural design and details were well thought out and helped create a wonderful setting for this fair. This event set a new standard.” (Art Daily 2012) For information on the entire 2013 CONVERSATIONS series, click here.
