Since the inaugural Frieze Art Fair in 2003, Frieze Projects, an off-shoot of London's frieze magazine, has pursued an ambitious curatorial program, inviting a selection of emerging and established artists to realize work responding specifically to the fair context. Artists--including Martha Rosler, Lawrence Weiner, Andrea Zittel, Richard Wentworth, Paola Pivi, Liam Gillick, Aleksandra Mir, gelitin and Jeremy Deller--have contributed work ranging from site-specific installations and 35mm films to impromptu performances and print publications. Called the "most exciting showcases of specially commissioned work from new and established artists in the world," by the London Observer, the Projects are accompanied by the Frieze Talks program, which has brought such leading cultural figures as Thomas Crow, Zaha Hadid, Jacques Rancière, Peter York, Linda Nochlin, David Adjaye and Roberta Smith to the podium. This volume is the first printed record of the speaking events, and features texts from the lectures and panel discussions, as well as essays on the commissioned projects.

The video works of the Swedish artist and 2007 Documenta participant Johanna Billing, born in 1973, occupy an unusual terrain between documentary and staged scientific experiment. Billing depicts the rituals of society by filming, for example, a group of young people as they reconstruct a long-forgotten experiment, or a group of artists singing a melancholy ballad together in a gesture of solidarity. By focusing on the dialectical interplay between the individual and the community, Billing reveals processes of social erosion--but without asserting emphatic judgment of these processes. The artist's video works--among them the well-known works You Don't Love Me Yet (2003) and Magical World (2005)--have been shown in many international group exhibitions, but this publication is the first to provide a comprehensive overview of her profoundly atmospheric productions.
