Frieze Sculpture 2025 unfolds once again in Regent’s Park, where sculpture leaves the neutrality of the gallery and enters a landscape shaped by history, leisure, and constant movement. The works are no longer isolated objects; they exist in relation to light, weather, and the quiet choreography of visitors moving through the park.
This year’s selection brings together artists whose practices expand the language of sculpture in public space.
The duo Elmgreen & Dragset present a work that subtly unsettles perception, positioning familiar forms within an ambiguous spatial and conceptual field.
The collective Assemble approaches sculpture as a collaborative and site-responsive practice, where material choices and social context are inseparable from form.
In contrast, Henrique Oliveira creates an organic, architectural presence that seems to emerge from the landscape itself, echoing processes of growth, decay, and transformation.
The work of Burçak Bingöl introduces a more intimate register, where ceramic surfaces carry traces of material memory and cultural translation.
Alongside them, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith and Erwin Wurm extend the conversation further, one through layered reflections on ecology, identity, and history, the other through a playful and at times absurd rethinking of sculptural form and the body.

Rather than presenting a fixed narrative, the exhibition offers a field of encounters between object and viewer, artwork and environment. As one moves through Regent’s Park, the works shift in meaning, responding to changing light and perspective. Sculpture here becomes something contingent and relational, activated by context rather than defined by it. Frieze Sculpture 2025 ultimately feels like a temporary condition within the city, where artistic gestures briefly merge with the everyday landscape, inviting a slower, more attentive way of looking.
