Selected by Lubaina Himid, Magda Stawarska is part of the Artist-to-Artist, which returns to Frieze London as a highlight of the fair’s artist-driven programme. Across six solo presentations, each nominated practitioner is selected by a world-renowned artist known for supporting new voices, reflecting the section’s commitment to fostering connections across Frieze’s global network. 

At Frieze London 2024, Magda Stawarska is showcasing an immersive installation that includes paintings, silkscreen-printed wallpaper and piccolo projections. The viewer is invited to look through a gap in a door on a European street into abandoned and hidden interior spaces, bathed in light from fractured openings that are impossible to reach. Vast facades are enveloped, enclosed, softened and disguised within voluptuous folds of billowing netting, while patterned wallpaper evokes a private interior world. Building on her own approach to exploring cities – allowing herself to get lost, then find herself – Stawarska fashions a personal relationship to place through the layering of histories of memory and movement.
