OK, I’m aware that Frieze Art Fair 2014 ended over two weeks ago, so I know I am little off my game on getting some substantial coverage up on the blog. But I’m a busy girl, so sue me. Last year I posted a selection of photos of my favorite Word Art from Frieze, and there was lots more of that this year, so call this an encore performance. Enjoy!

Judging from the electrical cord hanging off this one, I’d guess it lights up, though it was not lit up at this juncture.

Mobile Ski Boots from Frieze Art Fair 2014

Hey check out these awesome Mobile Ski Boots! As I was making my hit-and-run tour of Frieze Art Fair 2014 I neglected to note the name of the artist who sealed this pair of ski boots in blocks of concrete and mounted each to the base of a rolling task chair — which is too bad because, clever!

I understand that at one point these boots were strapped to the feet of a willing victim, who then rolled around on them across the exhibit floor. I wish I had seen that.

Imagine how much it would hurt if you had these things strapped on and you had really gained some speed and then you just wiped out. Wow. Instant Nose Job.

Here is a better view of the booth. If anyone knows who the artist is, please leave it in the comments, thanks!

The Cruel Shoes

After three hours of meticulously scouring the 2014 edition of the Frieze Art Fair, which took place this past weeked on Randall’s Island, NY, my feet felt very much like I had been wearing the shoes pictured above! Ouch!

Of the over 250 photos of art I shot during my visit on Sunday, this piece by Hans-Peter Feldmann, entitled Golden Shoes (exhibited in the Massimo Minini booth) is one of my favorite pieces from the show – and there were many, many favorites. Frieze 2014 is getting bit of a “Not That Great” rap this year from the reviews l’ve read so far, but I thought it was just amazing.

Watch for more photos from Frieze 2014 coming soon to Worleygig.com!

The 50th Anniversary of The Pink Panther – Music from the Film Score Composed and Conducted by Henry Mancini will be commemorated with the release of a limited edition, individually numbered 12″ PINK VINYL LP created for Record Store Day, 2014, celebrated at independent record stores worldwide on Saturday, April 19th, 2014. Mancini’s indelible “Pink Panther Theme,” first heard in the archetypal ’60s crime caper comedy starring Peter Sellers and directed by Blake Edwards, is, in the current digital era, the #1 most-streamed song in the entire Sony Music catalog. The original Pink Panther soundtrack album was given a Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 2001 and is being expanded for a 2014 50th Anniversary Edition to include bonus material.

Olaf Bruening Clouds In Central Park

Just in time for Spring, Olaf Breuning’s installation, Clouds arrived in Central Park on March 4th. The six Bright Blue Clouds tower nearly 35 feet above the plaza at the intersection of 5th Avenue and 60th Street just on the border of the Park. Held aloft among the trees by rudimentary steel supports, the Clouds are made of polished and painted aluminum and were cut to match a hand drawing by the artist.
