Frieze Sculpture will return to London’s Regent’s Park this fall with work by 22 leading artists, including Leonora Carrington, Theaster Gates, and Yoshitomo Nara. Running from September 18th to October 27th, the exhibition will coincide with both Frieze London and Frieze Masters, which run concurrently from October 9th to 13th. Curator Fatoş Üstek, who curated Frieze Sculpture, will return to curate the event again.
“This year’s selection pushes our ambition one step further, featuring daring and experimental artistic approaches,” Üstek said in a statement. “It also carves a place for playful encounters, socially and environmentally conscious themes, as well as conceptual and spiritual practices that expand the notion of sculpture in the public realm.”
Though the 2024 lineup has a similar number of artists as 2023, the upcoming exhibition will feature an increased number of women and non-binary artists, including Carrington, Ashwini Bhat, Zanele Muholi, Anna Boghiguian, Juliana Cerqueira Leite, Theresa Chromati, Céline Condorelli, İnci Eviner, Frances Goodman, Libby Heaney, Nika Neelova, Fani Parali, Zizipho Poswa, and Kirstine Roepstorff. These 14 artists will present their work in the tree-lined paths of Regent’s Park alongside Gates, Nara, Nathan Coley, FOS, Albano Hernández, Mohamed Ahmed Ibrahim, Hans Josephsohn, and Woody De Othello.
Typically, Frieze Sculpture is a platform for ambitious, cutting-edge sculpture projects, and this year 18 of the 27 works will be brand new. Among the selection is Carrington’s 2011 bronze sculpture, The Dancer, created the year the Surrealist artist passed away. This work features an anthropomorphic bird with three eyes and four arms.
Frieze Sculpture is also slated to be a central component of London Sculpture Week, which debuted for the first time in 2022. The 2024 edition runs from September 21st to 29th. Elsewhere, the city-wide celebration will include events, such as art tours, performances, and workshops from the Fourth Plinth, Sculpture in the City, and The Line.
