TO SEE AND THINK THE PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGE AT PINTA BAphoto 2024
The region's most important photography fair Pinta BAphoto opens its doors October 24-27, 2024, at La Rural, Buenos Aires, Argentina. A celebration of the fair's twentieth anniversary with curatorial projects, spaces for artistic exploration, debates among experts and proposals from artists that cross photography with other disciplines.

Pinta BAphoto's Main Section highlights galleries with proposals focused on photography. NEXT | Fuera de Foco, which celebrates its tenth anniversary, presents emerging artists and promotes intergenerational links, under the curatorship of Bárbara Golubicki and Joaquín Rodríguez. As a new feature, RADAR, curated by Sebastián Vidal Mackinson, will be inaugurated, a platform to showcase middle-aged national artists who explore the photographic language.
The Tribute Artist of this edition is Jaime Bolotinksy, a Russian photographer in Argentina, with a space curated by Francisco Medail.

WITNESSES OF AN EXTENDING TERRITORY - VIDEO PROJECT AT PINTA BAphoto
The eighth edition of Video Project, curated by Irene Gelfman, invites us to immerse in the concept of territory through the moving image. In video art we find a sense of curiosity and exploration that challenges our ideas of materiality and expands to embrace the most intimate. In six selected works, the notion of territory addresses bodies, landscapes and symbols, questioning the stability of physical and conceptual limits. The territory becomes a fluctuating space, as critical as the viewer's place.
