Artition – social network of arts

One of Artition’s great artists Eleonor Lindsay-Fynn is showcasing her work at Regent’s Park Tube station in London at this year’s Frieze Art Fair.

So if you happen to visit the Frieze by Underground you will pass her works in the tunnels!

Commissioned by Art Below, this October Eleanor Lindsay-Fynn has taken over the advertising space on Platform 1 of the Bakerloo Line in Regent’s Park Tube to showcase provocative images from her ‘Yellow Face’ project during Frieze Art Fair.

Says Ben Moore of Art Below:

‘We are really excited to work with Eleanor on this project, no one will understand her work more than Frieze goers and if they don’t understand it on their way to Frieze they will definitely understand it on their way back!’

The exhibition will run till the end of October and is backed by Crunch Art Festival and Quintessentially.

Do I Really want to be in the World? The ‘Yellow Face’ project turns the view of the art world onto itself and, more specifically, people at Frieze. Inhabiting the images are the instantly recognisable members of the London art world – in one image we see Richard Wentworth, Matthew Collings, Louisa Buck, Sir Norman Rosenthal, Jasper Joffe, and Matthew Slotover (Co-Founder of Frieze) speaking at the debate Art Fairs are about Money not Art, in the Saatchi Gallery. Do I Really want to be in this World? These figures have been painted ‘yellow-faced’ by Eleanor, adding something she feels is missing from a standard photograph. The ‘yellow face’ captures a kind of alienation we all feel at places like art fairs: a sense of just how odd cultural events are. This is not a wake-up call. Rather, ‘Yellow Face’ demonstrates the autopilot we switch on in order to cope with the huge quantity of information forced onto us.
