When we are tired one of the surest symptoms of our fatigue is that we begin imagining controversies with other people, making up in our minds contentious
conversations with folk whom we do not like,
writing imaginary letters swelling with rage or bitter with sarcasm.
Exploring these themes, this year's Frieze Talks features Claudia Rankine — 2016 MacArthur Fellow and winner of the 2017 Bobbitt National Poetry Prize for her collection Citizen: An American Lyric — discussing her
writing and her newly - founded Racial
Imaginary Institute; a panel on art and social commitment chaired by Shuddhabrata Sengupta of Raqs Media Collective (curators of the 11th Shanghai Biennial, «Why Not Ask Again») and featuring artists Tania Bruguera, Anri Sala and — ahead of her major project with Philadelphia Museum — Jeanne van Heeswijk; and a
conversation on «complicating the Modern» with Ann Temkin, Marie - Jose ́e and Henry Kravis Chief Curator of Painting and Sculpture at MoMA.
