From giant pumpkins to sound installations.
Away from the strip lighting of the tents, there are plenty of gems to be found in London’s galleries during Frieze Week. Among them is the European debut of Dindga McCannon – little known outside the US, the prolific 75-year-old makes dazzling fibre works, costumes and murals. Her solo exhibition at Pippy Houldsworth,, shows off her exceptional craftsmanship in a collection of quilts and textile assemblages.
Championing Black women and their stories is mirrored in the work of Tschabalala Self, the sought-after young artist who, like McCannon, hails from Harlem. Commissioned by Avant Arte to create a public sculpture installed in King’s Cross, Self decided to make a larger than life bronze of a seated woman. She is, like many of Self’s women, not a representation of a single woman but an amalgam inspired by many women she knows.
The primal conflict between nature and culture becomes fierce and urgent in Richard Mosse’s new film,, premiering during Frieze Week in an enveloping installation deep in the dark and cavernous industrial spaces of 180 The Strand. The Irish photographer is known for his experimental use of photographic technologies, such as the hot pink and lavender images of the conflict in Congo he captured using an obsolete Kodak infrared film.
