Who is Török Viki?

I am an economist who loves to travel and loves visual arts. I came from a small Hungarian city and since my childhood I drive my friend...

Before heading to the Frieze I went to Hoxton to see the Locked Room Scenario by
Ryan Gander. Artangel always makes interesting projects and invites you to hidden places
 in London. This time the show was questioning who are real artists and what is art.
Viewers also had to play a little Sherlock Holmes to put the information together.

As I read about the show I sort of knew what to expect but still there were
surprises all around the place. So this guy sat on the top of the staircase and
did not want to move. I had to squeeze myself in to enter the door behind him.
The door was locked all I could do is to have a look through the window.


Then I entered the exhibition space: the exhibition seems closed but they still had
 the texts on the walls, and in the room on the left there were boxes with postcards
of the works.

On the other end there were the press releases of the show that was organised
by the Kimberling Gallery - they even made a website of the gallery however
in does not work properly...

There were a couple of dark corridors. It was a little scarry as not all the doors
opened at the other end. Sometimes I had to use my Blackberry to get some
extra light.

Another locked room. Behing the door an Iphone was on the floor with a couple
of magazines and it started to ring. The caller was Spencer Anthony...

In the morning I had a weird text message on my phone: It's in the pocket of
Aston's yellow Macintosh, Spencer A. Well, we found the Macintosh behind
this door...

Next to the building there was a lot of rubbish - they already started to clear the
space after the show...

Some of the rubbish had the address on, and the blue fake fur actually belongs
to one of the sculptures....

Graffiti message on the wall to one of the artists from the show...
