Dean Sameshima review – did the neighbours really not know? The extreme LA sex clubs hidden in plain sight

A new exhibition at Soft Opening in London presents Dean Sameshima's "Wonderland" series, photographs taken in the mid-1990s that document the exteriors of queer sex clubs and bathhouses in Los Angeles's Silver Lake neighborhood. The images, shot in a stark, formal style during daylight, capture the unremarkable facades of these clandestine spaces, with only descriptive titles hinting at the activities within.

Putting young galleries at the front: Frieze London’s bold strategy holds

Frieze London will hold its 22nd edition in October 2025, retaining a bold floor plan debuted in 2024 that places emerging galleries near the main entrance while pushing blue-chip heavyweights like Gagosian and David Zwirner further inside. Fair director Eva Langret confirmed the layout is permanent, citing overwhelmingly positive feedback and a re-energized atmosphere. New for 2025 is a themed section, Echoes in the Present, curated by Jareh Das, exploring artistic links between West Africa, Brazil, and their diasporas. The Focus section, dedicated to galleries under 12 years old, will feature rotating stands near the entrance, with newcomers including Soft Opening, Portas Vilaseca, and The Pit.
