Rob La Frenais

Rob La Frenais is an independent contemporary art curator, working internationally and creatively with artists entirely on original commissions.

He believes in being directly engaged with the artist’s working process as far as possible, while actively widening the context within which the artist can work.

Rob is one of our members featuring their work as part of the ClimateCultures Quarantine Connection series. We shared his piece, New mobilities after the lockdown, on Day 17 of the 40-day series.
