“Over recent decades artists seem to have become increasingly aware of the issue of circulation not only as a practical social and economic one, external to their actual work, but an aesthetic one, at the core of it.”
Joerg Heiser on how artists explore the space between production and consumption in “Circulation”, the themed April issue of frieze.
Dan Fox visits Rirkrit Triavanija’s mid-career retrospective and discusses the artist’s emphasis on interpersonal activity over art production. James Trainor visits Andrea Zittel’s A-Z West, her desert home and self-styled institute of investigative living. Jan Verwoert examines the subtle twists introduced into daily life by the art of Roman Ondak.
This month’s city report is from Moscow. Ekaterina Degot, Dan Fox and Jennifer Higgie reflect on the biggest exhibition of contemporary art ever to be held in Russia whilst Pavel Pepperstein gives his perspective on the history of the city’s many artists groups.
