Stephanie Syjuco: Copystand

Stephanie Syjuco set up for Frieze Projects a parasitic workshop in which a small group of artists made bootleg copies of other works exhibited in the fair. The artists used basic and inexpensive materials and worked in a gallery stand at the fair in full view of visitors. The copies were being displayed in an adjacent gallery stand. Copystand: an autonomous manufacturing zone draws on Syjuco’s recent projects involving approximate copies: crocheted branded luxury goods, cardboard replicas of Charlotte Perriand furniture and body doubles. The bootleg works were available to purchase.

Stephanie Syjuco (b. 1976) is an American artist based in San Francisco.
