Frieze installed itself in its usual spot in London’s Regent’s Park for a rather muted 20th-anniversary celebration. There were no fireworks—the birthday was announced rather quietly under the sign at the entrance and then not seen or mentioned again. The billowing wind and October rain tapping on the translucent tents were the extent of the foot-stamping for what felt like just another year. And I suppose it was just another year, but as always, there were—in the end—enough zippy wow-factor items to make all the trudging worth it.
