This afternoon in the Frieze auditorium, Bard's Tom Eccles introduced a new project by the
LUMA foundation, a studio, residency, and Frank Gehry designed center, which will be accompanied by a summer
festival in Arles, France.
This occasional contemporary arts
festival in Gstaad (the last edition was in 2014; the next kicks off 3 February 2017) has the backing of Maja Hoffmann's mighty
LUMA Foundation, and a list of participating artists that wouldn't look out of place in a medium - sized international biennale (among them Allora & Calzadilla, Cecilia Bengolea, Michaël Borremans, Christoph Büchel and Douglas Gordon).
