The 10 Best Booths at Frieze Seoul 2025

Make Room and APALAZZO GALLERY Booth B22

With works by Aleze Zheng, Hammzat Tahabsim, Linn Meyers, Pia Ortuno, Yiyi Bai, Xin Liu, Ibrahim Mahama, Nathalie Du Pasquier, and Luc Ming Yan

 

Los Angeles gallery Make Room makes its debut at the fair, partnering with the Brescia, Italy–based APALAZZO GALLERY. The booth marks the first collaboration between the two woman-led galleries, united in creating space for disenfranchised communities and voices traditionally overlooked.

The booth’s centerpiece is a monumental fabric installation by Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama. Composed of stitched jute sacks, the work probes themes of migration and global trade. Juxtaposed with it is Xin Liu’s Primula Flowers (2025), sculptures framed in precision aluminum and silicone. Their clinical aesthetic is heightened by a custom cooling system that blurs the line between flesh and machine.

 
Completing the presentation, Shanghai-based artist YiYi Bai’s paintings provide a resonant backdrop for Liu’s synthetic beings. Merging visual memories with spiritual experience, Bai blends software-generated imagery with brushwork to craft a hybrid world where natural landscapes meet inner consciousness.
