The frieze team have curated – with deeply felt nostalgia – a playlist for an iconic quarter-century of music. Enjoy the sonic spectrum of a century: from the confessional ball-of-energy that is OutKast’s Ms. Jackson (2000), through to Chappell Roan’s lively Good Luck, Babe! (2024), which propels us into the next 25 years.
With an expanse of genres and voices spanned, be warned of the distorted reflections that might creep in (how exactly is Shakira’s Whenever, Wherever (2001) 24 years old!). In Issue 255, we compiled a list of 25 artworks that have shaped contemporary art since the year 2000.
