Producing the Frieze London Artist Award 2026 Commission

This week, Theo Triantafyllidis was announced as the recipient of the Frieze London Artist Award 2026, and I am leading the development and production of the winning commission, Feral Metaverse (Spider), which will premiere at Frieze London this October.

I have been working directly alongside Theo on the project over the past months, shaping and driving its development from early-stage concept and institutional partnerships through engineering, fabrication and production.

The commission is now in production and is co-commissioned and co-produced by Forma in collaboration with Google Arts & Culture.

For me, this is exactly the kind of work I do best: entering ambitious artistic projects early, helping define what they can become, building the right structure and relationships around them, and leading them through the complicated realities of actually making them happen.

By the time a project is announced publicly, much of the real work has already happened — the decisions, negotiations, technical problem-solving, production strategy, partnership building and constant judgement required to keep the ambition intact while making the work viable.

Feral Metaverse (Spider) premieres at Frieze London in October 2026.
