An Artist Reimagines Frieze London's Loos
Gray Wielebinski's scented artworks for the fair's bathrooms, Michelle Grabner’s gift to a Wisconsin museum, Gagosian's real estate footprint shrinks, and other news.
Frieze London is set to undergo a redesign of its public bathrooms, courtesy of artist Gray Wielebinski. The artist has been commissioned to reimagine the facilities as a "site of refuge and exposure" for the upcoming September edition of the art fair. Wielebinski is creating a series of urinal and toilet rim deodorizers that will diffuse a custom scent, produced by the creative studio Dean's Bottom.
Meanwhile, artist Michelle Grabner has made a significant gift of over 2,000 works to the John Michael Kohler Arts Center in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, including her own artworks, pieces by 50 artists in her collection, and archives from her time at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Gagosian Gallery has announced that it will be closing its two-story space in central London after three years, leaving just two locations in the city.
