Frieze Masters 2014, London, United Kingdom. Architect: Selldorf Architects, 2014. Galerie Meyer Oceanic Art, view looking into


This temporary structure was designed for Frieze Masters, a new art fair that offers a contemporary perspective on art through the ages. The fair which included 90 of the world’s leading galleries, presents pre-21st century art ranging from the ancient era and old masters to the late 20th century. Rather than organizing works by time period, the fair juxtaposes art from diverse periods, establishing a dialogue across centuries. Selldorf Architects created a design that literally and figuratively showcases art in a new light. Located on Gloucester Green in London's Regent Park, the design brings the park environment inside with several transparent exterior walls and a layout that includes public squares and walkways lined with typical park seating. Starting from the premise of functionality as critical, the design takes advantage of the inherent geometry of the tent system without trying to deny its presence.
