Artist and gallery awards announced at Frieze London

Today the musician, who is represented by Brunette Coleman, was introduced as the recipient of the Camden Art Centre’s Appearing Musician Prize. This yearly prize selects an emerging artist from the fair’s Focus section and provides them a solo show at Camden Art Centre the following year. According to the centre’s supervisor Martin Clark, Faulkner’s work “caught the court’s focus for its rigorous and seductive use of products and process”.

Nat Faulkner is having a great month. His photographic work Artificial Sunlight II (2024) has actually simply been acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and is already around the reasonable as the inspiration for the stylishly dotty Rock Island T-shirts being put on by the Frieze team.

Meanwhile, the Guatemala gallery Proyectos Ultravioleta has actually won the Frieze London Stand Prize 2024 with a multi-sensory stand celebrating two musicians from Chi Xot in the Guatemalan Highlands. The mini paintings of the late Rosa Elena Curruchich record the lives and traditions of the Maya Kaqchikel people. The very discreet dimension of her job was a calculated decision, claims the gallerist Cami Charask, made in the face of injustice and attack from male painters in the area, who “did not desire her to be an artist”.

With her job, she puts “females at the centre of public life”. The comparable reward in the Focus section was granted to Hot Wheels (Athens and London) for its discussion committed to the New York cumulative CFGNY.
