PINTA MIAMI: IDENTITY, FUTURE AND TERRITORY
In its third consecutive edition at The Hangar, in Coconut Grove, the Pinta Miami 2024 fair celebrates its eighteenth edition from December 5 to 8 with proposals that make visible the diverse artistic narratives of Latin America. An opportunity for gallerists, artists, curators, collectors and art lovers that seek to explore the region's contemporary discourses.
THREE SECTIONS: Main Section, NEXT and RADAR
As is characteristic of all Pinta fairs, Pinta Miami features the Main Section, NEXT and RADAR.
The Main Section features an international selection of galleries that explore diverse themes, but are united by the gene rooted in Latin American culture. Galleries such as Salar from Bolivia, Proyecto H from Mexico/Spain or Petrus from Puerto Rico are presented.
NEXT, curated by Giuliana Vidarte, brings together eight galleries from South America that explore the notions of “the emerging” linked to the cities where each gallery develops.
In Bogotá, Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Lima, Rafaela, Rosario, and Valparaíso, these projects—managed by artists and gallerists—contribute to the formation and debate around the identities, histories, and memories of each locality, and build contexts for the consolidation of regional narratives in contemporary art.
In the 2024 edition of NEXT, fifteen artists participate with projects that intervene in imaginaries about the history and territories of the Americas, proposing a renewal of ways of coexistence, collaboration, and exchange between beings and knowledge. Reencounters with ancestors, relationships with animals and protective spirits, reinterpretations of mythology, religious iconography, and popular culture, dystopian approaches to devastated landscapes, and new bonds with machines and technologies, as well as utopias of reconnection with the land, its visions, and processes, are addressed to reflect on ways of inhabiting possible futures within the contexts of crisis and conflict in contemporary human communities.
These are the projects: Subsuelo (Rosario, Argentina) + The White Lodge (Buenos Aires and Córdoba, Argentina with artists Ainelén Bertotti Burket and Lucas Bragagnini + Sandro Pereira and Nushi Muntaabski; BLOC Art Perú (Lima, Peru) + LUOGO (Rafaela, Santa Fe, Argentina) with artists Ariana Macedo and Graciela Arias + Julia Romano and Germán González Holc; Departamento 112 (Buenos Aires, Argentina) + Salón Comunal (Bogotá, Colombia) with artists Sara Escalante + Edelmira Boller and Mateo Cohen; and Crudo (Rosario and Buenos Aires, Argentina) + JUDAS (Valparaíso, Chile) with artists Nicole Mazza and Yuyo Gardiol + Natalia Montoya and Pablo Lincura.
The RADAR section brings together six distinct artistic practices that explore various forms of contemporary abstraction. Curated by Angelica Arbelaez, the section showcases diverse approaches and materials, where artists address explorations on geometry, time and reality.
Beto De Volder (Durban Segnini Gallery) focuses on dynamic, elliptical lines, creating an ongoing exchange between order and movement. Martín Pelenur (Galería del Paseo) similarly examines geometric forms with a focus on the rhythmic interactions found within his “Soft Grids” series. Sérgio Fernandes’ (Kubikgallery) color field paintings evoke existential questions about time and memory, offering a contemplative approach to abstraction. In his bold and gestural works, Pedro Vaz (Kubikgallery) draws directly from the natural landscapes he traverses to comment on the relationship between humans and the environment. Trinidad Metz Brea (Valerie’s Factory) merges ecology with new technologies, generating hybrid forms that blur the boundaries between human and non-human entities, while Frenetik Void (Valerie’s Factory), through digital art, delves into the creation of virtual worlds and the transformation of reality using technological tools.
FORO: the latinx agenda
FORO at Pinta Miami 2024 brings together artists, curators, researchers, collectors and cultural institutions in dialogues that address the challenges for the management of initiatives and the development of contemporary art projects from Latin America.
FORO's 2024 agenda features the participation of major figures such as Ella Fontanals-Cisneros (entrepreneur and collector of Latin American art), María Sancho-Arroyo (art market expert, adjunct professor at Sotheby's Institute in New York and contributor to the Art al Día Market section), Victoria Noorthoorn (director of the Museum of Modern Art of Buenos Aires) and Bernardo Montoya (president of the Association of Colombian Art Galleries and director of the Salón Comunal Gallery), among others.
In addition, a cycle of audiovisual projects by Latin American artists will be shown in the NEXT section, where the exchanges between contemporary creation and the traditional knowledge of South American contexts at present, as well as the relationship between technologies and humans, will be addressed.
