Unworlding: A New Section by Cédric Fauq at Frieze London 2021

The undoing of the world as we know it – has potentially become our only way to exercise hope today, while shifting the perspective on what hope and progress mean. Through the use of fictional architectures, slow apocalypses and fictional scarcity, the artists gathered for Unworlding show us how pessimism can drive imaginative agency rather than lead to immobilism or the (re)production of the world we live in. – Cédric Fauq

Unworlding, curated by Cédric Fauq (Chief Curator, CAPC musée d’art contemporain de Bordeaux), will feature a selection of international artists whose practices are centred around the idea of the undoing of the world as we know it.

The section will include a major work by Nora Turato (Galerie Gregor Staiger), a video installation by Ndayé Kouagou (Nir Altman) and a monumental piece by Natacha Donzé (Parliament), new work by Kristin Walsh looking at urban systems, mass production, and defensive architecture (Helena Anrather), and paintings by Esteban Jefferson exploring race, identity and the legacies of colonialism (Tanya Leighton), amongst others.
