Frieze Art Fair Redesigns for 2023

Frieze London this year features a redesigned layout that encourages visitors to explore the fair more extensively, potentially leading to unexpected art purchases. Despite a calming atmosphere and appealing artworks, galleries are opting for safer, less experimental pieces amid a challenging art market. At the Venice Biennale, Rember and Santiago Yahuarcani from Peru showcase vibrant myth-inspired paintings, while Claudette Johnson's work gains attention at the Turner Prize shortlist. In wildlife news, the Cape Peninsula in South Africa is witnessing increased human-wildlife conflicts, particularly with baboons adapting to urban environments and caracals shifting their diet to include seabirds due to human-induced changes. Meanwhile, Greg James hosts humorous programs on Comedy Central focusing on animal antics, including a special on penguins. Such diverse cultural and environmental narratives highlight the intersection of art, ecology, and entertainment.
