Seriously, I can’t believe it either, but Frieze New York is just around the corner: the third edition of the fair runs on Randall’s Island May 9 through 12. The VIP day is May 8, and if you’re an upper-level VIP you’re going to have the chance to ride in one of the fair’s VIP BMWs, listening to selections from Frieze Sounds, a sound-art program organized by Frieze Projects curator Cecilia Alemani.
