Hunting for art? Top 5 exhibitions to visit during Frieze week
Posted by Rebeca Romero on 3rd Oct 2017
You are passionate about about art, jumping in one leg cause is Frieze week but you are not precisely a VIP?
Luckily for you London is open! And there are tons of other options to enjoy this art week on a budget.
Here our top 5 exhibitions to visit during Frieze week:
1. Moniker Art Fair
Now in its 8th year, Moniker Art Fair aims to spotlight emerging and established talent from a burgeoning and increasingly diverse contemporary art movement forged by its subversive and innovative spirit. Staged during London’s most important art week in October, Moniker Art Fair attracts some of the most talked about artists, galleries and collectors from the finer side of the street art movement and its related subcultures.

October 5 – 8 2017
Where?
The Old Truman Brewery

2. Turbine Hall commission by SUPERFLEX at the Tate Modern
An orange line of swings weaves through the Turbine Hall. It then crosses the gallery and emerges in the landscape to the south of the building.
Each swing has been designed for three people by Danish artists’ collective SUPERFLEX. Swinging with two other people has greater potential than swinging alone and One Two Three Swing! invites us to realise this potential together. Swinging as three, our collective energy resists gravity and challenges the laws of nature.
Swing into action on the count of three – One Two Three Swing!
