As Frieze Seoul kicks off the art fair circuit this autumn with its second edition, collectors, gallerists and visitors are descending upon the city to discover all its cultural offerings. The fair’s director Patrick Lee calls Seoul home, and has over 15 years of experience in the art world; he previously served as the executive director of Seoul-based galleries Gallery Hyundai, and One and J. Lee recommends his favourite places to visit in the city—from a hole-in-the-wall bar to all the cafés and bookstores frequented by the creative crowd when they take a break from the fair.
What are you most looking forward to most at this year’s edition of Frieze Seoul?
A highlight of this year’s programming will be Frieze Film, co-curated by Serena Sungah Choo and Sungwoo Kim, comprising a programme of works by 14 artists shown at various non-profit and independent art spaces through the city. I’m also looking forward to seeing works by Hannah Woo, the recipient of the inaugural Frieze Seoul Artist Award, who will present a major new commission at the fair.
