Yagwang: The Winners of Frieze Seoul Artist Award 2026

‘Our work isn’t made by one person. It's more like water and fire coming together to make something...’ In this video, we go behind the scenes with the Seoul-based collective Yagwang (@ya_gwang), to learn more about their new commission for the 2026 Frieze Seoul Artist Award, supported by @bvlgari. Finding inspiration in transitional spaces and moments of coming together – from Seoul’s queer clubs to the alchemic chemistry between latex and metal – Yagwang’s new project ‘Facade Zone’ reveals fascinating ideas of identity and transformation. ‘I think that even within a single body, there are intersecting genders, sexualities and relationships. And what we want to say through our work is probably something we wanted to say to ourselves, or to those around us.’ Hit the link in bio to watch the full film; and experience Yagwang’s new commission at Frieze Seoul, taking place at COEX, 2 – 5 September 2026. Supported by Bvlgari for the fourth consecutive year, the Frieze Artist Award spotlights and supports Korea’s talents at a pivotal stage in their careers. — https://www.frieze.com Bringing together the global art community since 1991.
