Issue 99 of frieze explores the relationship between art and architecture. Jonathan Bell’s round-up of new museums and art galleries traverses the globe; Tirdad Zolghadr and Tony Chakur report on Beirut’s emerging art scene and Victoria Pomery and Ole Bouman debate the client versus the architect. Dejan Sudjic considers the problematic relationship between architecture and repressive regimes, and Eyal Weizman discusses the use of philosophy as a tactical device by the Israeli military. Also included are a profile of the influential architecture critic Reyner Banham, an interview with artist and filmmaker Anthony McCall, profiles of artists Sean Snyder and Marjetic Potrc, and a discussion of architectural doppelgangers.
