Frieze No.9 Cork Street invites you to the opening reception of:
The North American Pavilion curated by Alex Tieghi-Walker of TIWA Select
An exhibition of eight young galleries from the United States, México and Canada, all under five-years-old. The guiding principle behind The North American Pavillion is a celebration of the cultures existing side-by-side in the vast North American landmass, and exposing a British audience to this visual history. Curated by Alex Tieghi-Walker, the gallerist, curator, and founder of design platform TIWA Select, the assemblage of galleries was selected for their directive in straddling the space between art, design and craft.
The exhibition will include works presented by Los Angeles-based NOON Projects, who place queerness and social practice at the heart of their program, and will showcase artists Ben Borden and Matt Momchilov alongside ceramics from Maddy Inez Leeser and Will Moss. Marta will bring works by North American design-world luminaries including Minjae Kim and Wentrcek–Zebulon, alongside landscapes of the American East Coast by the Hamptons- based Swedish artist Virva Hinnemo. Meanwhile, TIWA Select, based in New York City, will demon- strate storytelling through textiles made across the USA, from intricate Navajo and Diné weavings to Applachian quilts and works by the Gee’s Bend quilting collective. The North American Pavillion will also illustrate the ongoing growth of North American galleries that specialize in and show collectible design, with additional participation from Bruises Gallery, Emma Scully Gallery, Jacqueline Sullivan Gallery, OF THE CLOTH, and Studio IMA.
