Notes related to Adriana Almada

A week away from its official opening, the 60th edition of the Venice Biennale has generated press urbi et orbi. While some articles celebrated the irruption of the Global South in the Arsenale and the Giardini, others -truly devastating- reported on the disturbance and discomfort that the proposal of Adriano Pedrosa -the first Latin American to cure La Biennale in more than a century of existence- has awakened in the Western art system.

Pinta Sud ASU closed its second edition in Asunción, Paraguay, where a proposal of first-class activities was carried out to reflect the avant-garde and eclectic spirit of national and regional art.

Within the framework of Pinta Sud ASU 2023 in Asunción, Paraguay, Casa M becomes for a few days the perfect setting for the site-specific intervention by artist Joaquín Sánchez, entitled The architecture of the body. Poetics of space and other fictions.

The Mendonca Collection inaugurated the exhibition El país de las mujeres (The Country of Women) at the Juan Salazar Cultural Center of Spain, as part of the second edition of Pinta Sud ASU 2023, which runs from August 7 to 13.

The Mendonca Collection, part of the second edition of Pinta Sud | ASU, houses key works of contemporary Paraguayan art -although it also includes works by artists of other nationalities- and counts with the collaboration and curatorship of expert art critics such as Adriana Almada, Felix Toranzos, Osvaldo Salerno and Ticio Escobar.

Adriana Almada is an art critic, curator and writer. Her area of work and reflection is contemporary art, both in terms of artistic production as well as exhibition, curatorship and collecting. Once again, she is the main curator of Pinta Sud | ASU, where she seeks to raise visibility of the contemporary Paraguayan art scene through exhibitions, talks and visits to galleries and other art spaces.
