For the first time, curator Fatos\u0327 U\u0308stek has introduced an overarching connecting theme and a title for Frieze Sculpture: \u201cIn the Shadows\u201d. This year\u2019s exhibition imagines the shadow not as an ominous portent but as a creative and generative space where memory, material and myth intersect. <\/span><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The selected artists engage with shadows both as an idea and a literal physical phenomenon, exploring themes such as ecological absence, traces of ancestry, bodily imprints and sculptural metaphors. From Andy Holden\u2019s bronze birdcalls and Reena Saini Kallat\u2019s colossal sound sculptures to Jaune Quick-to-See Smith\u2019s tribute to Indigenous memory, each piece transforms absence into presence and silence into expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Erwin Wurm\u2019s ghostly garments to the regenerative visions of Henrique Oliveira and Grace Schwindt, all the works share a common sensitivity toward the unseen and invite us to look at what is hidden. Drawing inspiration from the cultural and geographical contexts of the rose motif, Bur\u00e7ak Bing\u00f6l\u2019s work establishes a profound relationship between earth and ceramics by transforming the clay-rich soil of Regent\u2019s Park into the forms she presents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
