Frieze is pleased to present a city-wide project by the interdisciplinary artist Coco Fusco in a special collaboration with Mendes Wood DM, and Orange Barrel Media.
Through her work Only in Darkness, Fusco continues her exploration of race, gender, and colonialism, inviting audiences to reflect on these critical themes through the act of skywriting. Fusco’s project will be presented through a series of public billboards and digital screens throughout Los Angeles, offering a collective space for reflection and dialogue. The billboards, showcasing powerful written messages from Fusco, will invite the public to reckon with societal and environmental challenges.
Fusco’s work aims to transform the private act of reading into a public experience, encouraging critical thinking about the future of our planet and its inhabitants. The collaboration with OBM extends its mission to support the production and presentation of art in public spaces.
Only in Darkness is currently on view across Los Angeles through February 23, 2025.
