The Facts

Frieze has partnered with Seoul's Art Sonje Center to present the LIVE programme for its Seoul fair, showcasing female, queer, and intersectional artists. The programme includes performances by Yagwang and Chang Younghae, among 11 Korean artists. Yagwang's "Raw Proof" was staged in Dosan Park, while Chang Younghae's pole dance piece took place at Kukje Gallery K2. The programme is part of the fair's platform for live art, with a focus on the next generation of Korean talent.

The Signal

The partnership with Art Sonje Center signals Frieze's deepening engagement with Seoul's local art scene and its commitment to underrepresented voices. For collectors, the emphasis on emerging Korean performance artists highlights a growing market for live and new media works in Asia. The programme's focus on female and genderqueer artists also reflects broader shifts in the global art world toward inclusivity and identity-based practice.
