"Focus, A Platform for Young Galleries
Frieze’s celebrated section for young galleries features 12 exhibitors each showing solo presentations by emerging or under-appreciated artists. Overseen for a second year by curator and writer Lumi Tan, the section sees an increased international presence while maintaining a spotlight on New York’s vibrant young spaces. Seven new galleries – Champ Lacombe, G Gallery, King’s Leap, Management, Public, Voloshyn Gallery, Yeo Workshop – join Central Galeria, Company Gallery, Gordon Robichaux, Madragoa and Mitre Galeria.
Highlights include a comprehensive presentation of artist and curator Jenni Crain, who died suddenly from complications from Covid-19 at the age of 30, at Gordon Robichaux, three choose-your-adventure interactive video works centering Black trans experience by Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley at Public, and a significant installation created from antique textiles by Balinese artist Citra Sasmita at Yeo Workshop, who reclaims the epics depicted in traditional Indonesian Kamasa painting as acts of female agency.
