As with any art fair, the first visit to Artissima, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, leaves a variety of sensations. Some exhilarating, others sometimes inadequate to expectations. This year the 'structural' novelty was the increased presence of international galleries. And the response of these exhibitors tended not to fully satisfy. With proposals that were not particularly strong, or convinced, far from the openness expected at these levels.

Drawing upon the limits of a photographic capture, Young regards herself to be an ‘unreliable literary narrator’; an omnipresent character who observes and captures a moment in time and point of view – who saw what and when. The duo recently held an in conversation at Galerie Fabian Lang on Wardour Street on Young’s most recent body of works, ‘Stills’.

“Ein inhaltlich wie ästhetisch strenges, überzeugendes Konzept hat Idris Khan für seine 21-teilige Arbeit „After the Storm“ entwickelt, die Fabian Lang zeigt. Er hat die Palette von William Turners ikonischem Gemälde „Snowstorm, Avalanche and Thunderstorm“ separiert und abstrahierend quasi aufgeschlüsselt. Die bedrohliche Turbulenz des Originals ist einer Serie von melodischer Schwingung gewichen. Annie Morris, seine Frau, ist bekannt für ihre Kugelsäulen aus geschäumtem mit starkfarbiger Pigmenthaut verkleidetem Kunststoff, muntere Monumente der Äquilibristik mit Verweis auf die Flüchtigkeit und Instabilität der menschlichen Existenz.”

Founded five years ago by collector Dean Valentine and dealers Al and Mills Morán, Felix L.A. has gained a reputation for being a more relaxed and intimate fair than Frieze L.A., which runs at the same time.
“The fair was always founded on the premise that there needed to be an art fair that was really about the art, in a low-pressure setting, or a fun setting, to take away some of that shopping mall feeling of the larger art fairs,” Valentine told ARTnews. “Our goal was never to be just another fair to have at the same time as Frieze. We wanted it to be an experience.”
