PINTA PANAMÁ ART WEEK: THE CENTRAL AMERICAN COUNTRY PLACED ON THE GLOBAL CONTEMPORARY ART MAP
The first edition of Pinta Panamá Art Week was a collective celebration that transformed the city into a major stage for contemporary art and Central American culture.

The week was marked by a strong commitment to strengthening and valuing local identity.
JONATHAS DE ANDRADE IN MOTION, AT CONDEDUQUE
The videographic universe of Jonathas de Andrade (Maceió, Brazil, 1982) is only one part of his broader artistic practice. It is, of course, significant—complementing other worlds that shape the ideology and imaginary embedded in both the work and the persona of the Brazilian artist. For this reason, the selection of exclusively audiovisual works under the title Tiempo, sueño, olor (Time, Dream, Scent), on view at Madrid’s Centro de Cultura Contemporánea Condeduque, offers a concise, representative, and necessary approach that ultimately bears witness to a part for the whole.

BIENNALE OF SYDNEY 2026: “HISTORY VERSUS MEMORY”
Rememory, as coined by Toni Morrison in her novel Beloved is the theme and title for the 25th edition of the Biennale of Sydney, which will take place from March 17 until June 17, 2026.

In Morrison’s own context and research, it relates to chronicling African American history and how it upturns what is canonised as American history.

With major exhibitions such as the 59th edition of the Venice Biennale, The Milk of Dreams (2022), Surrealism Beyond Borders at Tate Modern and the Metropolitan Museum in the same period, Surrealism at the Centre Pompidou (which closed in 2025), and various revivals of lesser-known figures and centenary celebrations of the movement, surrealism has gained renewed momentum and has (somewhat) emerged from technical archives and private collections around the world.
