Art Frieze 2014
Carsten Höller, who is best known for his work Test Site, a series of giant slides for Tate Modern's Turbine Hall, has created a new form of children's playground for Frieze. The installation at the Gagosian Gallery’s Frieze stand, entitled Gartenkinder, has walls and floor in red, green, blue and yellow, and includes all sorts of weird and wonderful play things, such as a large-scale dice that children can crawl inside, a giant mushroom that rocks like a roly-poly toy, a Perplexity Ball, whose bouncing direction cannot be predicted, an uncannily realistic octopus, and other elements. The installation emphasises the importance of play. Children can interact with the different sculptures placed at their disposition and be watched while doing so
