Annie Trevorah's 'The Dwelling' Transforms Nobu Hotel London Portman Square for Frieze Week
The Dwelling, an installation by artist Annie Trevorah, will debut on 9 October 2026 at Nobu Hotel London Portman Square. Curated by Joséphine May Bailey and presented by Mandy Zhang Art, the exhibition will run until 30 October, showcasing textiles, sculpture, and print that depict Earth as a communal space. A highlight is Becoming (2026), a sculpture measuring 200 x 150 x 80 cm that combines human limbs with animal heads. The Human Chrysalis series features mirrored chrome figures set above sculptural plants. Trevorah, who holds an MA in Sculpture from the Royal College of Art (2023) and is a member of the Royal Society of Sculptors, has exhibited globally and won multiple awards.
