Sounds like fun! ;D

Is anything else going on that I should check out, I'm there on the Friday night and then the Saturday but dunno what else is on?

And also scope art fair, which is very cutting edge and features a lot of European Galleries. I am not sure whether it is happening this year

Cheers Guys I will check out Zoo if I get the time how big is Freize as in how long to get around it?

I checked out the design museum when I was down for 100% a few weeks back but I may pop my head in again as I generally like the southbank! ;D

Saw this today in the Guardian, thought it might interest those of you who are going along. Defacing the Queens head isn't that treason or something? ;D

Jake and Dinos Chapman have never been known to eschew the opportunity to inject a little chaos into a situation. This month's Frieze art fair at Regent's Park in London will be no exception. The Chapman brothers - most famous for their disturbing artwork Hell, which went up in flames in the Momart warehouse fire in 2004 - will spend much of the fair sitting at the stand of their gallery, White Cube.

Hand them any kind of English paper money - a fiver, a tenner, a £50 note, anything so long as it has the Queen's head on it - and they will draw on it for you. They'll give you back the note, now worth many times more than your original outlay, and with the monarch's visage defaced. "Apart from the fact that it's lazy," said Dinos Chapman, "I prefer drawing on other people's work. The scene is set, and you have to respond. It's not a wheeze, it's a very serious project. It's free art, and people don't give away art very often."

Last year the Chapmans set up a small studio at the fair and painted punters' portraits for £4,000 a time. "This is the opposite of that," said Dinos Chapman. "That was the equivalent of a posh Harley Street clinic. This is like a drop-in centre in Hackney Wick. We're reversing capitalism, just a bit." He said they would be looking with interest at the way the Frieze crowds reacted during the fair, from October 11-14: "Orderly queues have a propensity to turn into baying hordes." That certainly happened last year when the crowds cottoned on to the Chapmans' portraits.

He conceded the hint of showmanship about the project. "Most of the things we do skirt dangerously close to fairground attractions," he said. "It's not an unwelcome comparison. We're happy to drag artists off their pedestals."
