Frieze Masters
The US conceptual artist Adam Pendleton is deeply interested
in systems and processes, themes he explores in his exhibition of
recent works at Pace Gallery (Our Ideas, until 9 November) and
on the gallery’s stand at Frieze Masters, which he organised. “All
artists curate their own shows,” Pendleton says, but this is the
first time he has “brought together the objects of other artists
in this way”. Inspired by the writing of the art critic Rosalind
Krauss, his Frieze Masters show includes pieces by conceptual
artists such as Sol LeWitt, Roman Opalka and Robert Ryman,
as well as lesser-known names such as Howardena Pindell. 1
“I think there are gaps
