Stand B9 • Galerie Jocelyn Wolff at Frieze London 2026
Miriam Cahn, 𝘈𝘓𝘛𝘐𝘊𝘏, 1974-2020
Roominstallation: 24 elements: 14 paintings, 10 works on paper
-
For Frieze London 2026, Galerie Jocelyn Wolff is pleased to present 𝘈𝘓𝘛𝘐𝘊𝘏 (OLD I), a monumental 24-part room installation by Swiss artist Miriam
Cahn, bringing together works made between 1974 and 2020.
Cahn’s room installations (Rauminstallationen) are conceived as indivisible environments, in which paintings and drawings are brought together within a single space to create a layered narrative of interconnected themes and meanings.
The installation explores recurring themes in Cahn’s practice, including the aging female body, identity, memory, violence, and the human consequences of war and displacement. Bringing together vulnerable yet confrontational female figures — including representations of the artist herself — Cahn reflects on the relationship between lived experience, aging, and the body.
The installation also incorporates her 1974 self-portrait, connecting her earliest work to her ongoing artistic investigation of how life and conflict leave their mark on the body.
