The fair featured six new artworks, both inside the fair and around Randall’s Island Park, Manhattan. The program included sculptural environments and performative spaces involving intricate mazes, intimate hideouts, and room-size installations.
Frieze Projects 2015 pays tribute to the "Flux-Labyrinth," an immersive environment originally conceived by George Maciunas in collaboration with many other Fluxus artists including Larry Miller, Nam June Paik, Ay-O. For this tribute, alongside new reconstructions of some of the original interventions, a group of contemporary artists has been invited to create new sculptures and situations within a maze structure made from several narrow corridors and rooms. Obstructions and hurdles turn the experience of traversing the space into a joyful and surreal exercise. The tribute to the "Flux-Labyrinth" forms a diverting obstacle course, taking viewers on a journey through the most remote folds of the fair.
