Picnic : Frieze Sculpture Park London

To celebrate The Shadow, Albano Hernandez’s cerebral painting currently on show as part of Frieze Sculpture Park, Pi Artworks is hosting an on-site performance led by Duru Bebekoglu. Open to all, join us for a beverage and a ‘picnic’ to discuss and engage with Albano’s living artwork.

Created by the artist using water-based paint, the life-size silhouette sits directly on the grass itself, appearing as a real, physical, shadow. Hernandez plays into his ongoing interest in manipulation of materiality, creating a reflection of the sculpture park that speaks to a wider ecological issue of deforestation and time. Albano took part in Duru Bebekoglu’s debut iteration of her Dining Table performance at Central Saint Martin’s in June 2024, and now, it takes on new ‘picnic’ form. Embracing the tactility and The Shadow’s interactive positioning in the park, this open air performance will be a chance to reflect on the implications of sustainable artmaking and how we engage with public works.
