Frieze Talks 2017

Talks and performances at Frieze London exploring art in an age of 'alternative facts', curated by Ralph Rugoff

in Frieze | 20 SEP 17

Curated for the first time by Ralph Rugoff (Hayward Gallery, London), leading artists, musicians and cultural commentators will explore  how – in an age of ‘alternative facts’ – art’s capacity to beguile, disorientate and disrupt conventional notions of ‘the real’ can take on new meanings. Watch Rugoff discuss the programme and its aims in our exclusive video.
