PINTA NAMES DANIEL FISCHER AS NEW ARCHITECT
With its new location and wider horizons, Pinta introduces architect and curator Daniel Fischer to its production team.
Regarding Pinta Concept, the fair’s 2021 edition, the search for a location was carried out with one main thing in mind: to find a place that would be both intimate and different from other art fair experiences. Its urban location, uncluttered floor plans and multi-functional spaces aim to dynamize the artistic affaire and invite visitors to engage more personally, all while being cautions of health safety measures.
Designed on a 2nd floor with a cosmopolitan feel, Pinta 2021 will feature natural light and be surrounded by open views; these hint at Pinta’s attitude towards the near future of expanded horizons and new equilibriums.
“The choice of location isn’t naïve” explains Fischer. “The intimate scale, the glass façade and the landscape as artistic scenery are all conceptual and design tools that enable a perfect atmosphere for Pinta as it concludes this year’s agenda and gives way to a promising 2022”

AMAZE ME AND I AMAZE YOU – FRIEDEBERG AT DOT FIFTYONE GALLERY, MIAMI
Dot Fiftyone presents the first solo show of the celebrated Mexican artist Pedro Friedeberg in the gallery. With a career spanning more than six decades, Friedeberg is considered an outstanding and emblematic cultural figure. Born in 1936, he was first recognized as a Surrealist artist alongside Leonora Carrington and Remedios Varo. He originally trained as an architect and rejected modernism, turning to art with his mentor and friend Mathias Goeritz. In the early 1960s he was part of the interdisciplinary group Los Hartos (The Fed-Ups), always opposing the canon as well as visual and conceptual trends. The irony and absurdity that has characterized his broader artistic practice is embodied in the Mano-Silla (Hand Chair), which has elevated him to the global sphere since 1962. He remains prolific and is significant for new generations.
