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.

We were all told once in a while that “beauty lies in the beholder’s eye” and I agree to some extent, but let’s get real and look at the pictures. Like those of Kelly Mittendorf. Where is the beauty? Where? If someone finds it, please let me know and possibly explain why every at least 1,80 m tall bitch can call herself a professional model (seriously, you tall people heartlessly destroyed my little-girl-dream of becoming a superdupermodel ). Not that I’m in a bitchy mood on Mondays but she seriously reminds me of those sphynx cats. The eyes and all. I just feel like eww-ing all the time I go over the pictures.

Leaving those two aside, I also found some pretty people. Such as Aygul Galimullina (what a last name… ) and Ilva Hetmann. Ilva is German which surprises me since I haven’t seen much beauty (coming from my second homecountry) after Toni Garrn Superstar.

In return, he doesn’t think so. He rather likes shooting his models naked, without any make-up, special lighting or a lot of photoshopping…

He tries to find the natural beauty in each woman he is photographing. With this attitude he revolutionized the scene; and made Kate Moss to his muse.

A lot of new cameras and printers with impressive new features have been introduced to the big photographer community.
One interesting new camera does only take a shot if the object of interest smiles and has its eyes open.
