Issue 147 has been redesigned.
This month sees a
new-look frieze magazine, with a fresh typographic approach combined
with new sections and features. The redesign was overseen by Art Director
Sonya Dyakova, who explains that she aimed to produce an "expressive,
visually arresting publication."
Digital: To accompany
our new look, frieze will now be available on the iPad. The May
issue of the magazine will be published as a sampler version from 3 May; a
full-content edition will be available to purchase from the
June–August issue onwards.
Video: The digital
formats of frieze include two specially commissioned films, which are also
be available online at frieze.com.
The first pair of these include: an exploration of the art and architecture
of London's Olympic Park, including exclusive footage of the park itself;
and a visual essay on the work of Moyra Davey by Quinn Latimer.
The May issue introduces Influences, in which artists talk about
the key images that have inspired their work; new approaches to the work of
Focus artists, including case studies and studio visits; plus
the re-introduction of the Picture Piece.

frieze at Frieze New York, May 4–7, Randall's Island,

Highlights of the May issue
include:
Coming to Life: Spirits and objecthood
– Jan Verwoert on the 'Black Forest voodoo' of Geoffrey
Farmer's mirages and micro-events.
"What is special about Farmer's
work is that it is as dedicated to the material culture of labour as it is
to the transformative potential of magical practices and a demonic
imagination."
Woman of Letters: Moyra Davey's films,
photographs and writings are a sustained meditation on her family, literary
influences, travels and environments. Here, she presents a specially
commissioned project, while Quinn Latimer considers her work.
Influences: for the first of the new series, Beirut-based
filmmakers Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige write about
the images that have most influenced their work.
The Olympic
Park: Douglas Murphy considers the ArcelorMittal Orbit, while
Tom Morton looks at the conflicted legacy of the London 2012
