The September issue of frieze visits the 55th Venice Biennale, rediscovers the work of Julio le Parc and takes a look around Donald Judd’s recently restored New York apartment.  

55th Venice Biennale – Seven Views: frieze editors and contributors take stock of the highs and lows of this year’s Art Biennale, from Massimiliano Gioni’s The Encyclopedic Palace to the national pavilions. Including: Jennifer Higgie on ‘Welcome to Iraq,’ Dan Fox on the U.S. pavilion, Tom Morton on the British pavilion and Sean O’Toole on African representation in Venice.

The GameGavin Everall interviews novelist, critic and founding member of the Situationist International Michèle Bernstein. ‘We were unknown at the beginning of the Situationists. We knew we were important, we thought that we were the best. If there are people as good as we were, they should be unknown now too, and let’s hope, explode later.’

Peripheral Visions: Robert Barry discusses spectatorship, movement and participation in the work of Argentinian artist Julio le Parc.

Also featuring: Robert Storr takes us on a guided tour of the recently re-opened loft apartment and studio of Donald Judd in New York; T.J. Wilcox talks to Kirsty Bell about his most recent video project, which opens at the Whitney Museum in September; and Agnieszka Gratza considers the evolution of ‘performance architecture.’
