Everyone loves to show off a bit at Frieze, and extrovert visitors have been taking full advantage of the karaoke machine on A Gentil Carioca’s stand, provided by the Rio-based artist’s collective Opavivará!

And to drive the point home, a washing-up station is parked nearby to deal with any accidental spillages. For more Frieze gossip, click here.
