The May issue of frieze leads with an oral history of La Noche del Cisne, a cabaret night founded by artists Pia Camil and PJ Rountree in their shared studio in Mexico City. Plus, an extensive dossier on contemporary photography, featuring John Berger, Jack Halberstam, Julian Irlinger, Graciela Iturbide, Charlotte Jansen, Colin Edgington, Zoe Leonard, Zanele Muholi, Sophie Thun and five emerging photographers – Marcel Pardo Ariza, Koral Carballo, Elliot Jerome Brown Jr., Paul Niedermayer and Cameron Ugbodu.
In the features, Simon Wu profiles Kayode Ojo, whose shiny sculptural configurations reflect the art world's taste back at itself; in '1,500 words', Patrik Sandberg dives into the world of the legendary gay filmmaker James Bidgood, who died in January; ahead of a large public installation on Governor's Island in New York, Charles Gaines speaks with Harmony Holiday about seeing faces, trees and the bigger picture. And an exclusive extract from a forthcoming book of Philip Guston's composed notes, sketches, letters and pictures, I Paint What I Want to See (2022). Going Up, Going Down continues to chart what's hot and what's not in the global art world, and we publish the latest iteration of our Lonely Arts column.
The issue opens with a series of columns themed around 'doing it yourself': Patrick Kurth speaks to Siddhartha Lokanandi, the owner of the Berlin bookshop Hopscotch Reading Room; Rory O'Connor examines the playful cinema of director Hong Sang-Soo; artist Megan Plunkett tells Diana Hamilton about her work as an unlicensed private investigator; Paige K. Bradley profiles experimental broadcaster Montez Press Radio. Plus, Richard Hawkins on the painter Forrest Bess's correspondence with one of the 20th century's greatest thinkers, psychoanalyst Carl Jung.
