PINTA MIAMI OPENS CALL FOR ITS 2025 EDITION

After four days of intense activity, during which key figures from the international and regional contemporary art scenes came together, the twelfth edition of Pinta Lima concluded at Casa Prado, reaffirming itself as one of the main events for contemporary art in Peru. This edition, directed by Irene Gelfman, celebrated cultural legacy and projected the future of Latin American art at a time when the Peruvian ecosystem —with the international rise of its artists, the strengthening of its gallery circuit, and the growth of local collecting— is advancing strongly toward consolidation.

 The EFG Latin America Art Award, in association with ArtNexus, announced Marilyn Boror Bor from San Juan Sacatepéquez (Guatemala), represented by Judas Galería from Valparaíso (Chile), as the nominated artist for its annual acquisition award.

A system. An architecture. A way of setting out the guidelines that connect millenary myths with the manifestations provided by the present. Lo que este paisaje puede decir sobre el futuro (What this landscape can say about the future), Pinta Lima's Special Project, is an oracle: a sacred space that reveals the union between what is and what can be.

The enduring legacy of Teresa Burga (Iquitos, 1935 – Lima, 2021) is celebrated at the Latin American art fair Pinta Lima, where she was selected as the tribute artist for the Special Project, curated by Miguel A. López. The exhibition brings together, for the first time, various moments of her production between 1966 and 2020, showcasing the intelligence, boldness, and versatility of an artist who was not always recognized or understood in her time.

The Museum of Contemporary Art of Panama has opened applications for a prize aimed at supporting the careers of emerging artists in the country through professional training, curatorial guidance, and institutional visibility. The application period will remain open until May 25.

For those of us who have followed the creative paths of Ana Tiscornia, we are very familiar with the many inventive forms and materials the artist has employed to refer to the architecture of place. The architecture of place may have been a building or a section of it; it may have been a street. Esquina / Corner of 2010, for example, is a complex paper collage of cut-out floor plans, densely layered to represent collapsed structures. This collage features a small red dot signaling the end of a street, a specific place no longer recognizable.

For the third consecutive year, the Ama Amoedo Foundation launches its grant program, an initiative aimed at providing resources and opportunities to strengthen the art ecosystem and its institutions across Latin America. The open call closes on August 31.

Photographers working with contemporary narratives are invited to apply and take part in the opportunity to live, work, and exhibit in London, while gaining meaningful support and industry connections. Submissions deadline: July 22, 2025.
