黑料不打烊

ARCOmadrid, International Contemporary Art Fair, to be held from February 16th through 20th 2011, looks set to be a memorable event not just for the fact that we are celebrating thirty years but also because of the many new changes we are introducing as well as the response of the galleries.

This year the art fair will be showcasing around a dozen Russian galleries, as part of its FOCUS RUSIA programme, selected by Daria Pyrkina, curator of National Centre for Contemporary Arts and a professor at Lomonosov Moscow State University.

Also worth underscoring is the SOLO PROJECTS:Focus Latin America programme, put together with the assistance of Luisa Duarte, freelance curator from Brazil; Daniela P茅rez, associate curator at Museo Tamayo, Mexico City, and Julieta Gonz谩lez, associate curator of Latin American Art at Tate Modern, London, in the selection of galleries, artists and projects.

Furthermore, we also have the section  OPENING: Young European galleries. It features a selection of galleries with less than 8 years of existence from all over Europe with a special focus on emerging countries.

ARCOmadrid will shortly begin its international promotion in conjunction with the City Council of Madrid. Sao Paulo, Paris, Miami and Lisbon are the stops chosen this year by the International Contemporary Art Fair to present the project for its thirtieth edition.
