Frieze Sculpture returns. The Regent’s Park has once again been transformed into an open-air gallery for Frieze Sculpture 2026. This highly anticipated edition of London’s free outdoor exhibition invites visitors to discover newly commissioned sculptures set against park’s historic English Gardens. In this Culturally Curious Hop, the Wick spoke to the artists featured this year, including Conrad Shawcross, Tarini Sethi, and Matyáš Chochola. These conversations offer a rare glimpse into the creative processes behind the monumental works that now inhabit the park, exploring the intersection of contemporary art and the public sphere. Frieze Sculpture runs 16 September – 1 November 2026 and is curated for a fourth year by Fatoş Üstek. This year marks the 14th edition featuring 11 leading international artists whose work explores themes of hybridity in sculptural works that combine media, materials, techniques and cultural references. “Together, these works affirm the edition’s central vision: sculpture as a living, adaptive and expansive language” Fatoş Üstek, Curator of Frieze Sculpture Frieze Sculpture is part of London Sculpture Week 19 – 27 September 2026, a city-wide celebration of public art that unites five major initiatives: Frieze Sculpture, the Fourth Plinth, East Bank, Sculpture in the City and The Line.
