Tyler Mitchell will be in conversation with Zoé Whitley, director at Chisenhale Gallery in London, as part of Frieze Masters Talks and in partnership with Gagosian. Their conversation will explore Mitchell’s new exhibition, Chrysalis, at Gagosian, Davies Street, London, and a special commission for this year’s edition of Frieze Masters that reflects on his conceptual and editorial photography practices. His work is rooted in reinterpreting the tropes employed in both the Western canon of portraiture and the contemporary fashion magazine.

Tyler Mitchell is presenting a special project at Frieze Masters 2022, marking the first time Frieze has commissioned contemporary artwork to be featured in the fair. In photographs, works on fabric and mirror, and a new installation—Altar I (2022)—Mitchell reflects on historical motifs in the context of an Edenic vision of Black beauty and desire. Mitchell’s photos, shot on location in upstate New York and in studios in New York and London, explore the relationship between young Black men and landscape. The Frieze Masters Commission is presented with additional support from Gagosian.
