Walking tour of sites of labor at Frieze London
Commissioned for Frieze London

To open the infrastructure of an art fair to view, Rosier led participants on a walking tour of Frieze London. All ticketholders were invited to take part. The tour's focus was on the armature of labor that makes the art fair run—the workers who staff cafes, toilets, cloakrooms, and medical and security systems, who organize the program, write articles, hold radio shows, construct the site, maintain the park, take in money, and sell the art. Participants in yellow safety vests interviewed front-of-house employees, accountants and other office staff, sandwich servers, security personnel, toilet and cloakroom attendants, doorkeepers at the VIP and VVIP lounges, those running the bookshop, newspaper, and radio station, those in charge of storing the art, a representative of the Royal Parks, and others. The event was commissioned and billed as an artist's project. Fair attendees sipped wine and viewed or purchased art as the tour group walked by.
