Timed to coincide with Frieze Week
Racecar was originally conceived in 2020, before personal and global circumstances shifted, before we had really grown up. As life resumed in fragments, the artists followed the well-worn paths that all art graduates have trodden: side-jobs, moves abroad, the early onset of ‘realistic thinking’. Like its title, a palindrome; Racecar mirrors a return that folds back on itself. Shaped by a period of dormancy, it is an invitation to revisit something you once set down.
As the first in a new collaborative series between curators Connie Ashford and Katya Hudson, Racecar presents an opportunity for long-term partnerships with a young, culturally engaged community. With future iterations in the pipeline, this is the start of a growing and visible platform for emerging artists and their networks.
Project Visibility
• Timed to coincide with Frieze London and its satellite events
• Targeting a young, creative audience (18–35) across art, fashion, and music industries
• 1000+ visitors over 2 days
• Social media presence through curators’ and artists’ & visitors networks
• A chance to associate with an “underground but stylish” cultural moment during Frieze Week
• Opportunity to capture photo and video content during the Private View
• Visual identity and curated aesthetic in a unique, raw space
