‘I tell my students that the most important thing is not the degree or what you learn, but the community that can sustain you,’ says artist Ebun Sodipo. In À la Carte, Sodipo, Eva Langret, director of Frieze London, and Antonia Marsh, founder of Soft Opening, discuss the importance of peers in supporting young artists and galleries in London. Over their dinner at Sessions Arts Club, Sodipo acknowledges the community of Black women artists and the wider community of trans women – ‘the people who give you the drive to continue to make work’. Marsh also takes the opportunity to give a shout out to the women of London’s gallery scene she considers her ‘ride or die supporters’ – Sadie Coles, Rózsa Farkas, Maureen Paley and Angelina Volk.

With less than two weeks to go until Frieze Masters 2025, new fair director Emanuela Tarizzo shares ten things she’s looking forward to this year. From the 137 galleries, millennia of art history, dynamic programme and top restaurants that make up Frieze Masters, Tarizzo highlights pioneers of Indigenous art at D'lan Contemporary, an early work by Flemish master Peter Paul Rubens at Salomon Lilian, a 2,500-year-old bronze cat at Rupert Wace Limited, an exquisite Renaissance book of hours at Dr. Jörn Günther Rare Books and a solo show by American artist Joe Ray at Luxembourg + Co. The curated sections promise new discoveries and transhistorical perspectives: ‘Spotlight’ showcases radical and overlooked voices from the 20th century, ‘Studio’ explores how global art histories inspire the practices of six contemporary artists and ‘Reflections’ dives into the world of decorative arts and objects. Catch conversations with Tracey Emin, Edward George and Anthony Gormley in the Frieze Masters Talks programme, and digest all this and more at one of @nobuoldparklane, @trullo_restaurant and @hamyard_hotel, this year’s pop-up restaurants.

‘A curator is trying to expand on what “truth” means,’ says Ben Swaby Selig, Frieze x Deutsche Bank Curatorial Fellow at V&M East. ‘Also, the acknowledgement that the truth isn’t one truth: it’s many people’s voices.’ In the video, Frieze x Deutsche Bank Emerging Curators Fellows past and present talk about what being a curator means to them, and how that role might change in the future thanks to the programme. Launched in 2020, the fellowship supports Black and global majority heritage curators through 12-month, full-time, paid placements in leading UK arts organizations. In its five years, it has partnered with Chisenhale Gallery, Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, Birmingham’s Ikon Gallery, The Whitworth in Manchester and V&A East in London. They also got the chance to meet each other and attend Frieze London. ‘It was insane in a really fun way,’ says Amrit Sanghera, who was a Fellow at IKON in Birmingham. ‘I felt like a magpie: there were so many different works that I wanted to see.’ Hear the Fellows’ experiences and hit the link in bio to watch the full video.

‘The community in London is great,’ says Daniel Crews-Chubb in his South Bermondsey studio. ‘It’s an energetic city – a lot’s bubbling.’ The capital has played a big part in his development as an artist, from Chelsea College of Art to the Turps Studio Programme (where Peter Doig taught him to mix paint). For this Meet Me in London video, Crews-Chubb discusses the new work he’s showing with Timothy Taylor Gallery at Frieze London 2025, including a recent expansion of his painting practice into 3D pieces. ‘I think I’ve always felt like a sculptor trapped in a painter’s body,’ he says.

Ana Segovia grew up ‘immersed in classic Mexican cinema’ and its performative, romanticized portrayals of masculinity and nationhood. He paints to ‘deconstruct, process and reclaim’ this powerful visual archive. Nominated by artist Abraham Cruzvillegas, Segovia’s works will be shown by Kurimanzutto as part of the curated section ‘Artist-to-Artist’ at Frieze London 2025, supported by Tiffany & Co. His new series of paintings for Frieze follows the character of Ramòn throughout a single day, centring his crotch in each composition. Segovia explores how film frames and narrates the world. His paintings make space for the contradictions of power and vulnerability, tradition and its subversion. 🔗 Read more at the link in bio. ⁠ Tiffany & Co. is the Official Partner of 'Artist-to-Artist' at Frieze London, offering each participating gallery a bursary to help showcase artist-selected emerging talent.

In T. Venkanna’s ink and egg tempera paintings ‘our needs, fears and identities are turned inside out; raw, vulnerable and bloody,’ observes Bharti Kher. Nominated by Bharti Kher, Venkanna’s works will be shown by Gallery Maskara as part of the curated section ‘Artist-to-Artist’, presented in collaboration with Tiffany & Co. at Frieze London 2025. Inspired by Indian and European myths, archetypes and artistic traditions, and embedded in the contemporary culture and politics of India, Venkanna’s paintings emerge from a palette of just three colours – black to define figures, blue to drive the emotional tone and yellow for compositional balance. ‘Art can be provocative and urgent yet still carry the rigour and craft of traditions,’ says Venkanna. ⁠ ⁠ 🔗 Read more at the link in bio. ⁠ Tiffany & Co. is the Official Partner of 'Artist-to-Artist' at Frieze London, offering each participating gallery a bursary to help showcase artist-selected emerging talent.

THE OCTOBER ISSUE IS HERE⁠ ⁠ This month’s cover features Hugh Hayden, whose striking works are both moving and hard to define. As Hayden tells senior editor Terence Trouillot in a feature interview, ambiguity is partly his aim: ‘I want people to feel something before they understand it.’⁠ ⁠ Though rare these days, as artists increasingly face market and institutional pressure, this spirit of mystery runs throughout the issue.⁠ ⁠ Our columns trace the intimacies of art and friendship: Ira Silverberg on his layered relationship with John Giorno; Anri Sala on the drive of Edi Rama; and Evangeline Turner on lessons from her late studio-mate, Alastair Mackinven.⁠ ⁠ In the features, a roundtable looks at what it takes to ‘make it’ in London’s art scene today, while Noemi Smolik profiles Andreas Gursky’s enigmatic search for patterns. And in a stand-out ‘1,500 Words’, Nan Goldin revisits the origins of her own name through the lens of her friendship with photographer David Armstrong. As a gift to subscribers, we’ve included an insert of Goldin’s ravishing portraits of Armstrong – images that, above all, pursue the mystery of love and friendship.⁠ ⁠ Available now online and in stores. https://lnkd.in/e52qgC9Z Cover: Hugh Hayden, 2025.

Katherine Hubbard ‘never set forth to make this kind of work’. But faced with her mother Antonette Berger’s diagnosis with a degenerative brain disease, she realized, ‘if I didn’t evolve my creative practice to include her, I wasn’t going to have time to be both an artist and a daughter.’ Nominated by artist Nicole Eisenman, Hubbard’s works will be shown by Company gallery as part of the curated section ‘Artist-to-Artist’, presented in collaboration with Tiffany & Co. at Frieze London 2025. Hubbard will present a project five years in the making, comprised of large-format photographs made with her mother at her home in Philadelphia, and Vaseline body prints created in the darkroom. A ‘counter’ to her care work, Hubbard’s art captures less tangible moments of connection with her mother. ‘I’m always finding newness and value in how the presence of the camera changes things,’ says Hubbard. ⁠ 🔗 Read more at the link in bio. ⁠ Tiffany & Co. is the Official Partner of 'Artist-to-Artist' at Frieze London, offering each participating gallery a bursary to help showcase artist-selected emerging talent.
