Summary

This quote highlights the concept of design in art as a form of appreciation and understanding of the connections and interactions between different elements within the creative process.

If the Frieze Art Fair catches on, I imagine at least two great things happening. First, we will once again have a huge art fair in town that isn't too annoying to go to.
