Frieze House Seoul is Frieze’s brand new permanent exhibition space. Launched in September 2025, the house brings leading galleries to the heart of the Korean capital in a year-round programme of exhibitions and events. Building on the success of No.9 Cork Street in London, Frieze House Seoul is a vital platform for global and local art scenes to connect.
Located in Yaksu-dong, a neighbourhood at the intersection of Seoul’s contemporary and historic districts, Frieze House reflects the area’s growing status as a centre for creativity. The space offers the opportunity to experience ambitious programming beyond Frieze’s fair calendar, featuring short-term gallery residencies, special projects and curated exhibitions. Andy St. Louis is the Director of Frieze House Seoul.
About the Space
Built in 1988, during a pivotal moment in Korea’s modern history, the building that contains Frieze House Seoul retains the character of the period in a newly renovated space by Seoul-based architectural studio Samuso Hyoja, with lead contractor management by Our Labour. With two main exhibition spaces across four floors, Frieze House Seoul offers more than 210 square metres of display space, with a central indoor area dedicated to sculpture.
The expansive landscaped garden will feature a permanent site-specific installation by SANAA, the acclaimed Japanese architecture studio led by Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa. Continuing SANAA’s ‘Drop Chair’ and ‘Wuzhen Chair’ series, the work features an aluminium seat and stainless steel legs that dip to collect rainwater, forming a fluid circle with floral motifs at each leg’s end.
