Art, music and the night out.
On November 6th, W1 Curates brings together Tinie Tempah, artist David King Reuben and our founder Mark Dale to talk about ‘The Night’s Not Dead’, Tinie’s first album in nine years.
Tinie and David collaborated on 'The Night's Not Dead' album and across the three preceding EP’s (‘9PM’ , ‘12AM’ & ‘3AM’). Together they explore the intersection of art and music: how the collaboration came about, the creative process behind the album, and the thinking behind the visual identity and design work that brought the project to life.
Hosted by Mark Dale, the conversation celebrates nightlife and the spaces that keep it alive. Hear about Tinie’s work with Music Venue Trust and why protecting grassroots venues matters for the next generation of artists and the communities around them.
6th November: 6 PM - 8 PM

Light Remains. Five worlds. One rule: the sound governs & the light responds.
Built in collaboration with music, Artur Gadzhiev's immersive exploration of light begins in darkness. Rendered with the support of Fox Renderfarm each world is its own small universe with its own laws of physics, each embodying an element of its own.
The journey starts in near-emptiness and builds into full intensity filling the space with structure, weight and force. The score was created alongside ITSU with sound and image developed side by side, each shaping the other. The result is not a visual set to music, but a single audiovisual organism.
When everything else falls away, Light Remains.
Presented by W1 Curates: Nov 03 - Dec 01

For Frieze Week, @W1curates and @thenightleague turned Michael Craig-Martin’s 'MUSIC' into a club night.
The queue went down the street, and Culture Collective members walked straight in on the VIP list with the Pass in their phone’s wallet.
Sir Michael Craig-Martin on visiting Hï Ibiza
'Music', his immersive digital installation fills the room at Hï Ibiza with bold outlines, vivid colour and instruments scattered across the screens. Presented by W1 Curates.
His first visit was an early one. A late-starting club, a quiet room, a long day behind him. Seeing it with a crowd? “It’s actually fantastic.”

Ten pieces we couldn’t stop thinking about.
Last week W1 took to the London Art Fairs. Here are our top picks, from the pieces that stopped us in our tracks to the ones we’re still talking about.
Take a look, which one would you take home?

Behind every big idea at Frieze, there’s a producer.
Ewa Kniaziak takes us inside Feral Metaverse (Spider), 2026 by Theo Triantafyllidis: a sculpture you can climb, with a game built in.
Commissioned by Frieze Forma in collaboration with Google Arts & Culture for the 2026 Frieze London Artist Award, it's a sculpture made to be touched, climbed and played. Six embedded PlayStations. One game. Everyone working together.

At Frieze we caught up with Ken Nwadiogbu.
Ken Nwadiogbu, an artist we backed and exhibited in 2021. Fresh from winning the 2026 Young Generation Art Award we caught up with him in front of his latest exhibition at Frieze London, 'I Know the Shadows Will Always Be There' (2026).
Ken chooses yellow to show how bright and how visible we are. Walk through, 'She Knows', 'Igbo Boy' and 'The Performance' with us, where the masquerade takes centre stage.

So lovely spending a couple of days with Indira Paganotto.
From an album shoot at the W1 Curates gallery on Oxford Street to a visit to our creative hub, It was two days full of fun, ideas and plenty of laughs.
One of our team, Pete, also got to share some of his upcoming tracks with her, which was a dream come true.
Stay tuned for more.
Last day of Frieze with my little helper. A bit more relaxed, and an early start meant we pretty much had the place to ourselves.
Roko got stuck in, interacting with the artworks and telling me which ones he liked. Good to get him around art from a young age and see what catches his eye.
Frieze London, until next year✌🏼
A blue-chip art icon. One of the world’s most influential galleries. Drum & bass pioneers. The team behind Hï Ibiza, Ushuaïa and [UNVRS] and W1 Curates.
Different worlds. One unexpected collaboration.
For Frieze Week, W1 Curates and The Night League brought Sir Michael Craig-Martin’s MUSIC, presented with Gagosian, from Hï Ibiza to London’s Oxford Street.
Reimagined as an immersive experience, the exhibition featured a specially commissioned soundtrack by Goldie and James Davidson of SUBJECTIVE.
On Friday, the space transformed into a club. Following an incredible Ibiza season, KONFLICT brought its energy to London, with queues stretching down Oxford Street.
An unexpected collision of art, music and club culture. An incredible response. Different worlds brought together by a shared creative energy.
MUSIC continues at W1 Curates until November 4.

‘MUSIC’ BY SIR MICHAEL CRAIG-MARTIN
Last night, together with Gagosian and The Night League, we brought Sir Michael Craig-Martin’s MUSIC from Hï Ibiza to W1 Curates London for Frieze Week, and hosted a conversation with Ben Luke.
The room was packed, and the discussion ranged from exhibiting at Hï Ibiza, a four time holder of the world’s No. 1 club title to Michael’s practice and the making of the immersive experience with W1 Curates and Daniel Jackson. We also explored the epic soundtrack created especially for the immersive experience by Goldie and James Davidson of SUBJECTIVE.
Tonight, we continue the celebration with the MUSIC experience and a huge party to round off the week.

Day 2 - And the early bird gets the worm.
A great start to the day at PAD Design fair, followed by visits to some brilliant local galleries and a quick dash around Frieze and Frieze Masters.
So many amazing works, and it was great to see so many familiar faces. We’ve also got some exciting interviews coming up.
Stay tuned for Day 3…
