Taking place 4 – 7 September, the third edition of Frieze Seoul coincides with major institutional exhibitions across the Korean capital foregrounding Asian women artists.

Opening in August, Seoul Museum of Art (SeMA) is hosting a survey exhibition, ‘Paintings of Korean Women Artists’, with an accompanying conference joint-hosted with the Association of Korean Modern & Contemporary Art History the following month. The former director of SeMA, Kim Hong-Hee, who participates in this year’s KAMS x KIAF x Frieze Talks series, is also publishing a book, Korean Feminist Artists: Confront and Deconstruct, in October.

Opening in September, ‘Talking Bodies: Asian Women Artists’ at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA) and Anicka Yi’s solo show at Leeum Museum of Art explore feminist art from a transnational perspective.

Frieze Seoul 2024 is following suit. This year, there are significant solo and group presentations at the fair highlighting the works of women artists of Asian heritage, from South Korea to Indonesia.
