For the second year, Tan is overseeing Frieze New York\u2019s Focus section, which features galleries that have been active 12 years or less, staging solo presentations of under-known or emerging artists. \u201cFairs are familiar now, often with similar exhibitors presenting similar artists each time,\u201d says Tan. \u201cWhen you step into the Focus section, I want there to be a shift in perspective that jolts you out of the automatic way you\u2019ve been treading through the fair.\u201dSubsidised by Frieze and the clothing brand Stone Island to cover up to one-third of each exhibitor\u2019s booth cost, the section affords younger galleries a global platform. Here are three of the most exciting at this year\u2019s fair.\u00a0Gordon RobichauxNew York gallery Gordon Robichaux was founded in 2017 by artists Sam Gordon and Jacob Robichaux. It has become known for its support of under-recognised artists, many of whom are self-taught and have been working for decades, but haven\u2019t had major success. \u201cGordon Robichaux acts more like curatorial advisers, helping artists make their way and learn to live while also making a career out of their art,\u201d says Lumi Tan.For Frieze, the gallery is showcasing sculptures, photographs and a painting by Jenni Crain, an artist and curator who died of Covid-19 complications at the age of 30. Crain\u2019s works on view, such as minimalist wood cubes with glass, explore perception and emotion.\u201cJenni was a rigorous thinker deeply involved with the curatorial community and is of a generation of artists who are now in major shows like the Whitney Biennial,\u201d says Gordon. \u201cPart of showing Jenni at Frieze is to put her in the ongoing dialogue of contemporary art, where she belongs.\u201dConcurrent with the fair, Gordon Robichaux is organising an exhibition in its gallery featuring a site-responsive sculpture by Crain \u2014 the final work she developed before her death \u2014 alongside a group exhibition of artists she championed. \u201cJenni\u2019s work deserves to be seen,\u201d says Gordon. \u201cShe deserves to be in shows. If not her own artwork, then an unrealised curatorial project. It\u2019s Jenni\u2019s turn.\u201dMitre GaleriaBrazil\u2019s Mitre Galeria, originally known as Galeria Perisc\u00f3pio, was founded in 2015 to amplify diverse voices with a focus on Brazilian and Black artists.\u201cIn Brazil, there are few galleries with as specific a programme as Mitre\u2019s,\u201d says Fl\u00e1via Cardoso Suzuki, assistant director. \u201cWorking with artists who are socially and politically engaged can be a challenge and most of the gallery\u2019s artists are Black. Racism is still very present in Brazil.\u201dMitre Galeria is showcasing Luana Vitra, a 30-year-old artist who explores ecological destruction caused by mining in her home state of Minas Gerais. With prices ranging from $5,000 to $32,000, the booth will feature drawings related to mining operations and mixed-media sculptures comprised of materials including iron ore. With her work, Vitra challenges the need for iron extraction. \u201cIf recycled, what has already been extracted is enough to meet our needs,\u201d she says. \u201cThat\u2019s why I tell the story of this place \u2014 largely so we can rethink the choices humanity continues to make.\u201d\u00a0Outside the fair, Vitra has a solo show at New York\u2019s SculptureCenter (May 1-July 28), institutional support the gallery believes can broaden Vitra\u2019s audience. \u201cComplex installations are not easy to engage with on the market,\u201d says J\u00falia Maria, Mitre\u2019s artistic director. \u201cBut Luana has a lot of momentum in Brazil and we think she will do well with American and European collectors.\u201dG GalleryA newcomer to this year\u2019s Frieze New York is Seoul\u2019s G Gallery, which supports experimental, emerging and mid-career artists and aims to connect the Korean art scene with international audiences.G Gallery is exhibiting a large-scale installation by Yehwan Song, who also has a solo show at Pioneer Works in Brooklyn (to May 11). Song\u2019s Frieze presentation features digital projections of internet spaces on cardboard forms inspired by clusters of barnacles, as well as rotating iPads with similar imagery. The work highlights invisible systems embedded within technology and \u201ccritiques how internet users become passive and homogenous, shaped by algorithms\u201d, says Dakyung Lee, director at G Gallery. \u201cYehwan Song asks whether we are in control of technology or part of a system.\u201dSong, who has a background in user-experience design, says technology was created for certain groups, such as English speakers. Those who don\u2019t speak the language may still have to work in English to generate things such as usernames. \u201cPeople who don\u2019t fit into these main groups usually end up feeling discomfort in a space that wasn\u2019t made for them,\u201d Song explains. Rather than \u201csurfing\u201d the web, users come up against immobile \u201cbarnacles\u201d. \u201cBy making this hidden discomfort more visible, we can question how narrow and exclusive the internet really is \u2014 and find ways to build a more open and welcoming one.\u201dThe gallery hopes New York museums in particular will be interested in Song\u2019s work, which ranges from $10,000 to $20,000, \u201cbut we also just want visitors to know her\u201d, Lee says. \u201cI hope visitors can expand their perspective of Asian art\u2009.\u2009.\u2009.\u2009we have an opportunity to show art that is great, is by an Asian artist, and isn\u2019t a painting or sculpture.\u201dMay 7-11, frieze.comFind out about our latest stories first \u2014 follow FT Weekend on Instagram and X, and sign up to receive the FT Weekend newsletter every Saturday morning<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
