Viewing Frieze Sculpture at Regent’s Park

The Autumn season officially begins in London with the unveiling of the annual Frieze Sculpture, now in its 13th edition in The Regent’s Park. Curated by Fatoș Üstek, the 2025 edition promises to be a special one – as it’s the first time artists have been selected according to a theme. The event also coincides with London Sculpture Week, a city-wide celebration of public art that begins on 20th September.

Work by 14 artists will be displayed throughout the Park’s picturesque English Gardens, and will remain on view to the public for free until November. Titled ‘In the Shadows’, this year’s cohort were chosen to represent and reimagines the shadow as “a creative and generative space where memory, material, and myth intersect.” Artists this year include Reena Saini Kallat, who will present a giant sound sculpture, acclaimed Austrian artist Erwin Wurm, known for his fat car series and sending up of everyday objects, and Elmgreen & Dragset, who present their large-scale stainless steel installation Life Rings, a comment on consumer culture and power structures.

Also worth looking out for are Lucia Pizzani’s The Tale of the Eye, the Seed and the Snake, a new, site-specific sculptural installation and sound piece is composed of three ceramic forms, each symbolising an archetypal motif from ancient iconography, and drawing performances and workshops by Simon Hitchens, to activate and accompany his piece Bearing Witness To Things Unseen, a new iteration of a 2022 work from his acclaimed Shadow series, an imposing, irregular, polished black portal, a reflective void carved from space and matter itself.
