Following a splashy debut last year, Frieze Seoul returned to COEX in the ritzy Gangnam District in the southern part of the capital this week to offer another two-for-one art fair experience with its local counterpart Kiaf Seoul.
Experimental works featuring (allegedly) feces and yeast stood out from the commercial pieces dominating the regional fair.
South Korea's largest art market is set to open in Seoul on Wednesday with over 330 galleries at home and abroad presenting their artworks at Frieze Seoul along with local fair Kiaf.
Frieze Seoul and Kiaf Seoul are returning to Seoul in September to offer a distinctive two-for-one art fair experience once again. The creative momentum generated by their partnership is expected to extend well beyond the fair venues this time, with the city government launching a broader cultural initiative “Seoul Art Week” to celebrate the two art events' arrival.
Frieze Seoul said Thursday it will feature an expanded list of Asia-based galleries and a variety of cultural programs for its upcoming international art fair next month, which will be held concurrently with Korea's leading art fair, Kiaf Seoul.
