As part of the Frieze Projects x Art Production Fund programme at Frieze Los Angeles 2026, Cosmas & Damian Brown will show his first major public art installation, Fountain: Sources of Light (2026), comprising a ring of six ceramic heads encircling a central fountain. Incense smoke will rise from each head, while flowing water will accumulate in a basin filled with metal vessels. Visitors are invited to rearrange these vessels, subtly altering the acoustics and rhythm of the falling water.

As part of Art Production Fund’s Art Sundae, Brown will lead a special youth workshop at Frieze Los Angeles. Art Sundae is a programme that partners artists with children for hands-on artmaking workshops, culminating in a collaborative public art installation. Inspired by his practice and sculpture at Frieze Los Angeles, Brown will lead children in painting metal plates and bowls. These works will be incorporated into Brown’s fountain sculpture, which will remain on view for the duration of the fair offering participants the opportunity to see their contributions become part of a major public artwork.

 

Create a public art project with artist Cosmas & Damian Brown at this free and open-to-the-public workshop on Saturday 28 February at Frieze Los Angeles.
