In a durational and performative extension of his work in Frieze Sculpture, Simon Hitchens will stage a live drawing performance from dawn until dusk on Sunday 21 September in the English Gardens in The Regent’s Park.
To mark the autumnal equinox, Hitchens will trace the shadow of a locally sourced geological object over the course of the day. This live drawing will capture the passage of time and shifting light, eventually forming part of a new limited-edition work.
Visitors will be able to see the drawing in progress and observe the artist’s process throughout the day, punctuated by the public curator tour at noon, led by Fatoş Üstek. On the evening of the same day, Hitchens will participate in the Night Walk curator tours led by Üstek, at 8pm and 8.45pm.
Presented by CLOSE Gallery, this event is a part of London Sculpture Week, a citywide celebration of art in the outdoors with tours, workshops and performances across London. Free and open to all, running 20 – 28 September 2025.
