London’s Art Scene Turns Inside Out as Frieze Week Unfolds Unexpected Layers
Frieze Week in London isn’t just a parade of galleries—it’s a citywide festival where art breaks out of its frames. Celebrating two decades in Regent’s Park, this year’s edition weaves together over 160 galleries and fresh collaborations with major UK arts institutions, making the city itself a living canvas.
Beyond the main fair, museums and independent spaces showcase bold voices: Sylvie Fleury’s tongue-in-cheek critiques of machismo at Sprüth Magers, Marina Rheingantz’s landscapes dissolving into abstraction at White Cube, and Jhonatan Pulido’s pastel palimpsests echoing Colombia’s urban scars at Alma Pearl. Meanwhile, pairings like James Lee Byars and Seung-taek Lee at Michael Werner reveal how artists worlds apart can converge on the ephemeral and invisible.
From monumental sculptures in public parks to intimate, memory-soaked paintings, Frieze Week blurs boundaries—between genres, histories, and even continents. In London, art doesn’t just hang on walls; it spills into the streets, inviting the city to see itself anew.
