Firenze Lai's First UK Solo Show at White Cube During Frieze London
White Cube Mason’s Yard is set to showcase a solo exhibition featuring new artworks by Hong Kong-born artist Firenze Lai (b. 1984), coinciding with Frieze London 2026. This exhibition marks Lai's debut in the UK. Her pieces delve into themes of identity, the spread of misleading information, and the challenges of identifying a singular truth, shaped by the rise of online engagement and advancements in AI.
