Zoo Art Fair Feature

Zoo Art Fair is the young, hip, more cheeky fair that runs alongside Frieze. This year, its fifth, has more international galleries showcasing works. The feeling at Zoo was that the economic meltdown meant people were looking at the art itself more, and this was where more risks were being taken resulting in a vibrant environment. That said, collectors were out in force and, with the economic crisis just a few miles away stressing out city workers, artists and gallery owners didn't seem to be worrying.
