ZOO ART FAIR 2007
HAPPENINGText: Sayaka Hirakawa
Compared with the relatively young and small Zoo Art Fair, Frieze Art Ffair is one of the biggest in London. It is annually held In October at Regent’s Park.
Have you noticed the deckchairs in Hyde Park and St. James’ Park with the fabulous prints on them? Yes? That is because they are designed by famous artists. Paul Smith and Elly Kishimoto are but two patrons. “Deckchair Dream” is the name of the project organized by the charity group The Royal Park Foundation.
Paul Smith and Elly Kishimoto “Deckchair Dream”
This year they produced chairs by children from four British schools, as well as the ones by Damien Hurst, Sam Taylor-Wood and others. Not only can you hire them in the parks you can buy them from £45. They are art, for charity and limited edition. Hmm, I’m really keen to have one of those chairs. It doesn’t even matter that I don’t have a garden.
