Programme for 43rd edition

ARCOmadrid celebrates its 43rd edition from March 6–10. The extremely high quality of the projects submitted by the galleries guarantees a first-class artistic experience. The exhibition will showcase the current international art scene in a broad dialogue with Spanish art. Five days of discovery and exploration with the presence of new international galleries that confirm ARCOmadrid’s role as a benchmark for the visibility and exploration of artists, fostering an active market and promoting knowledge of art. A total of 205 galleries from 36 countries will transform Madrid into the international capital of contemporary art. 

Among the international galleries participating in the General Programme, ARCO welcomes  Gregor Podnar, Max Hetzler, Vera Munro, Air de Paris, Fortes D’aloia & Gabriel, Lévy Gorvy Dayan and León Tovar. They are joined by others such as Thaddaeus Ropac, Mai 36, Jocelyn Wolff, Chantal Crousel, Krinzinger, Nächst St. Stephan Rosemarie Schwarzwälder, Giorgio Persano, Lelong, Meyer Riegger, Perrotin, Poggi, Neugerriemschneider, and Thomas Schulte. Returning galleries include Capitain Petzel, Société and Chertlüdde, as well as Mendes Wood Dm, Nicolai Wallner, Hollybush Gardens and Kalfayan Galleries.

Alongside the General Programme, ARCOmadrid will showcase three curated sections. Firstly “the shore, the tide, the current: an oceanic Caribbean” constitutes this year’s research subject in a section curated by Carla Acevedo-Yates and Sara Hermann Morera. Through a careful selection of artists and galleries, this segment proposes a reading of the complex intersection between land and this sea that emerges from and towards the shore as a space of exchange and constant instability “intervening in the discomfort of placing oneself between the liquid and the solid”, as the curators have point out. In a space specially designed by Ignacio G. Galán, Arantza Ozaeta and Álvaro Martín Fidalgo, 19 galleries will take part, including David Castillo, Hutchinson Modern & Contemporary, Monique Meloche, Patron, Praise Shadows Art Gallery, Tern Gallery, Espacio Mínimo and Helga de Alvear.

Opening will once again be the space for discovering new proposals at ARCOmadrid. Cristina Anglada and Yina Jiménez Suriel ’s selection will represent the commitment of young international galleries with the participation of 15 galleries such as Artbeat, Blue Velvet, Eins Gallery, Espacio Continuo, Fermay, Hatch, Remota, Sissi Club and The Space Art Gallery, which are participating for the first time.

The section Never the same. Latin American Art will contribute to strengthening the research on of Latin American creation and its relationship with all the agents present at the fair. Curated by José Esparza Chong Cuy and Manuela Moscoso, it will comprise a selection of Latin American artists from 12 galleries including A Gentil Carioca, Jaqueline Martins, _Vigilgonzales, Isla Flotante, Millan, N.A.S.A.L.and Proyectos Ultravioleta.
