"Frieze Art Fair New York: 8 Must-See Shows\nDetails asked Bill Powers and Persis Singh, two of the art world's most discerning tastemakers, to guide us through Frieze Week.\nThough Frieze New York, an international art fair that focuses on contemporary art and living artists, is only in its second year (the 'parent' fair, Frieze London, is in its tenth) it's already established a frenzy of fiscal activity that has come to be known as Frieze Week. From May 10\u201313, 2013, Frieze takes over Randall's Island Park, a quick ferry ride from Manhattan, but that's only one of many events taking place in New York City in the coming days. Here, two top art-world tastemakers guide us through the busy week ahead.\nBill Powers is the co-founder of Exhibition A, an online art venture that partners with established contemporary artists to offer limited editions of their works. He's also the owner of Half Gallery in New York, as well as an author and seasoned art writer (you may have caught him as a judge on Bravo's Work of Art). His most recent book, Image Coming Soon: Interviews with Artists (Gagosian), is a collection of his interviews with artists like Jeff Koons, Richard Prince, and Ed Ruscha.\n\nClick through for Bill's picks.\nEveryone should check out Piotr Uklanski's Pornalikes show at Karma of XXX celeb lookalikes.\nLucien Smith's Clean Sweep is at Suzanne Geiss. See the killer video they made with Glenn O'Brien on their website.\nDan Colen unveils some new paintings at Oko Gallery in the East Village starting May 15.\nAndra Ursuta is doing a Frieze NY project (Editor's note: Ursuta is installing an imaginary art cemetery on Randall's Island for where \"art goes to die\"), which will be a nice follow-up to her participation in this year's Venice Biennale.\nPersis Singh is the Program &amp;amp; Marketing Director for Artis, an independent nonprofit organization that broadens international awareness and understanding of contemporary art from Israel, and provides important resources for artists and art professionals. Previously, Persis has worked as a curator and researcher at non-profit arts organizations like Art21, Performa, SculptureCenter, and Asia Society, and has focused on contemporary artistic practices from postcolonial settings and zones of conflict, including Israel and the Middle East.\n\nClick through for Persis' picks.\nAt Frieze Art Fair, I'm excited to see FOOD 1971/2013, a tribute toGordon Matta Clark and Carol Gooden's artist-run restaurant in SoHo, founded in 1971. Frieze's iteration will function as a pop-up restaurant, dynamic meeting space, and performative arena where different artists each day are invited to cook and discuss their creations with the public.\nNADA Art Fair showcases an international set of younger, edgier galleries. I'm a fan of Ruby Sky Stiler's work, on view at Nicelle Beauchene's booth, and I'm looking forward to seeing Molly Smith's fragile sculptures at Kate Werble Gallery, as well as beautifully layered photographs by Ilit Azoulay at the Braverman Gallery booth.\nFor a good counterpoint to the art fairs, make the trip to Brooklyn and see LaToya Ruby Frazier's solo exhibition at theBrooklyn Museum, A Haunted Capital. Frazier presents poignant, black-and-white photographs of her family and loved ones in Braddock, Pennsylvania, examining the industrial decline and socio-economic crisis afflicting her hometown.\nAfter seeing the fairs, head to EXPO1: New York at MoMA/PS1, an ambitious festival/exhibition opening May 12 that explores today's ecological challenges and the overarching theme of \"dark optimism.\" The highlight is the temporary geodesic dome in Rockaway Beach, which will serve as a relief center for culture and education."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
