London’s White Tent Becomes a Global Kaleidoscope of Art and Identity

Every October, a white tent in Regent’s Park transforms London into a crossroads of global creativity. Frieze London and Frieze Masters 2023 drew over 200 galleries from six continents, marking two decades of boundary-pushing exhibitions and unexpected encounters. Inside, Blindspot Gallery’s booth offered meditative reflections on gender and identity, with Sin Wai Kin’s performative video and Xiyadie’s intricate paper cutouts narrating personal journeys. Meanwhile, Marguerite Humeau’s sculptures at Clearing compressed the spirit of Colorado’s wild landscapes into kinetic forms, blending land art with digital design. Elsewhere, DAG’s Neo-tantra showcase revealed how Indian artists reimagined ancient philosophies through bold abstraction, while Hauser & Wirth’s towering bronze figures by Barbara Chase-Riboud honored overlooked women poets of antiquity. From surreal kittens to myth-laden textiles, the fair’s booths became portals—each one a miniature world where tradition, innovation, and identity collided. In London’s white tent, the ordinary dissolves, and the art world’s wildest ideas find their stage. #FriezeLondon #ContemporaryArt #ArtFairs #Culture
