NEXT STANDS OUT AT PINTA PArC FOR ITS CREATIVE LANDSCAPE
Curated by Florencia Portocarrero, the NEXT section brings together seven galleries that are committed to visibilizing the work of young and/or emerging artists. The section seeks to function as a window, for the public of the fair, to the various cities of Latin America in which the gallery projects are registered; such as Buenos Aires, Cusco, Lima, Cholula, Rosario, Quito and Santiago.
After two years of withdrawal due to the pandemic, the artists selected in this edition of NEXT invite the viewers to immerse themselves in long-term projects in which manual work and a perspective at exterior and interior landscapes are predominant.
The heterogeneous conglomerate of artists chosen for this edition brings with it an intercultural richness that panoramically highlights the manual work of the region and the contemporary vision of new artistic generations.
