CURATORS' PICKS: THREE PROPOSALS AT PINTA MIAMI
Arte al Día takes a look at the curatorial selection that highlights works by Ibero-American galleries in the NEXT, RADAR and Main sections of Pinta Miami. The curatorial team for the 2024 edition of the fair is integrated by Irene Gelfman -global curator of Pinta and co-curator of FORO and Special Project-, Giuliana Vidarte -curator of NEXT and co-curator of FORO and Special Project- and Angelica Arbelaez -curator of RADAR.
CRUDO Arte Contemporáneo (Argentina) – NEXT Section
CRUDO's proposal connects artists, techniques and geographies. Yuyo Gardiol's satin photographs explore the relationship between the human body and the environment, transforming the everyday into abstract compositions loaded with color and texture. Each piece plays with light to erase concrete references and submerge the viewer in a sensorial atmosphere that invites us to rediscover the nuances of the space inhabited.
On the other hand, Nicole Mazza's embroideries resignify a traditional craft technique by integrating it with a critical and contemporary narrative. Her figures, distorted and often uncomfortable, question gender stereotypes and female representation in culture. The combination of tension-charged imagery and the delicacy of embroidery creates a confrontation that exposes the fractures between what is expected of women and their internal realities.
The works presented by the gallery are combined with the proposal of Judas Gallery (Chile), with works by artists Pablo Lincura and Natalia Montoya.

KUBIKGALLERY (Portugal) – RADAR Section
KUBIKGALLERY's stand is a space for the exploration of landscape and perception through painting. Pedro Vaz's works emerge as visual memories of his immersive experiences in nature, where sensations rather than concrete details are captured. His pieces, worked in wood and paper, transmit the artist's presence in every corner of these environments, creating a link between the lived and the imagined.
Sérgio Fernandes, in contrast, offers landscapes that are built from a meticulous exploration of color. His compositions generate a duality between serenity and restlessness, where each brushstroke suggests a precarious balance between order and emotion. When the works of both artists are exhibited together, a dialogue is generated that invites the viewer to reflect on the relationship between technique, environment and the emotions they inspire.
ESPACIO MÍNIMO (Spain) – Main Section
Espacio Mínimo's proposal for Pinta Miami revolves around the idea fragmentation as a tool to reflect on memory, time and absence. Ana Tiscornia's incomplete carpet acts as the center of this narrative, offering a visual metaphor for the voids left behind. Around it, works by artists such as Juana González, with their body fragments turned into metaphors, extend the reflection on fragmentation and the body as an emotional and symbolic archive.
The stand also includes pieces that rewrite historical and cultural narratives. Diana Larrea, with her series on forgotten women artists, and Pablo Helguera, with his visual archive based on book fragments, offer two different perspectives on the reconstruction of the lost. Meanwhile, Liliana Porter and Donna Conlon bring a poetic approach: the first, by disrupting scales with tiny characters, and the second, by exploring the fragility of the ecosystem through feathers that evoke the ephemerality and delicacy of nature.

CILDO MEIRELES EN PALMA DE MALLORCA
ALTTRA Foundation organizes in three spaces in Palma, on the island of Mallorca, an exhibition that addresses the theme of insularity and its role and idiosyncrasy in a globalized world through several works by Cildo Meireles (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 1948). The works chosen, corresponding to five different periods of the artistic production of one of the referents of Brazilian neo-conceptualism, trace a journey through some of the themes and investigations that the artist has developed throughout his life, from fortune and chance to the perception of the physically invisible but perceptible, such as sound, or the relationship between space and its use.
GABRIEL CHAILE’S SCULPTURE AT TABAKALERA
Contemplando es como fuimos cambiando (Contemplating is how we changed) is the exhibition, the first one in Spain promoted by an institution, that the CICC Tabakalera in San Sebastian is dedicating to Gabriel Chaile (San Miguel de Tucumán, Argentina, 1985), one of the most prominent names in contemporary Latin American sculpture. This proposal is intended to take an extensive look at his work, from his beginnings to his latest works produced in Lisbon, and which is recognizable by his monumental adobe, clay and metal pieces that reflect the morphology of the pre-Columbian ceramics of his native region.

LITA CABELLUT IN DIALOGUE WITH GOYA
Goya's Los Disparates preceded, or marked, painting's entry into modernity. Beyond this historiographical note, the series by the Aragonese master captures with masterful imagery the vicissitudes of irony, sarcasm and the darkness of a reality that has lasted through time to the present day. The plates of his etchings become the surface that deposits this reality, and the result, once impregnated, works as a full reminder of the origin of our essence, our fears and our actions.
