Tyler Mitchell guest curates the October Friday Late at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, by transforming the museum into a space for viewers to engage with images in new and unexpected ways. The event is the latest iteration of Night at the Cinema, a twenty-four-hour online film festival initiated by Mitchell during the COVID-19 pandemic and live-streamed from his computer desktop to viewers around the world. The evening will be a celebration of Mitchell’s unique ability to bring communities together through film and visual culture. Friday Late celebrates contemporary visual culture and design, gathering audiences together with artists and designers through live performance, film, installation, debate, DJ sets, and more. The event is free and open to the public.

Tyler Mitchell will be in conversation with Zoé Whitley, director at Chisenhale Gallery in London, as part of Frieze Masters Talks and in partnership with Gagosian. Their conversation will explore Mitchell’s new exhibition, Chrysalis, at Gagosian, Davies Street, London, and a special commission for this year’s edition of Frieze Masters that reflects on his conceptual and editorial photography practices. His work is rooted in reinterpreting the tropes employed in both the Western canon of portraiture and the contemporary fashion magazine.

Photographs by Tyler Mitchell are viewable twenty-four hours a day on a three-story building on Oxford Street in London, presented by W1 Curates. Mitchell’s soulful practice slips seamlessly between autonomous art and commercial assignments, conjures intimate dreamscapes that celebrate Black family, community, and youth. The installation also includes segments from a film Mitchell made in collaboration with Grace Wales Bonner to celebrate the publication of A Magazine Curated by Grace Wales Bonner. Both artists currently have work on view in Social Works II at Gagosian, Grosvenor Hill, London.
