PINTA AND RESIDENCIA DE AL LADO: AN ALLIANCE THAT STRENGTHENS THE CIRCULATION OF LATIN AMERICAN ARTISTS
Argentine Luciano Giménez, who took part in the fair in Miami, was selected to undertake a two-month residency in Peru.
Pinta has announced a new partnership with Residencia de al Lado, which joins the international network of initiatives promoted by the platform to support the visibility and projection of Latin American artists. This collaboration establishes a concrete bridge between two key moments in Pinta’s contemporary art fair calendar—Pinta Miami and Pinta Lima—creating a framework for continuity, research, and production beyond the fair itself.
The core of this alliance lies in the selection of an artist participating in Pinta Miami, who is invited to carry out an artistic residency at Residencia de al Lado for an approximate period of two months. The residency unfolds in the lead-up to, during, and following Pinta Lima, thereby supporting both the research and development process and the moment of greatest visibility for the project within the context of the event.
The artist selected for the 2026 period is Argentine artist Luciano Giménez, represented by Cott Galería (Buenos Aires, Argentina). His practice explores the material possibilities of local clay used by Córdoba’s brick-making industry, working at a larger and less common scale within local ceramic traditions. His participation in Pinta Miami 2025 led to the selection process to join Residencia de al Lado during Pinta Lima 2026, strengthening exchange between artistic scenes and consolidating this experience within a regional network of contemporary practices.
As part of this program, Pinta covers the cost of the international airfare, facilitating the artist’s mobility and promoting professional exchange within the region, while Residencia de al Lado provides accommodation and comprehensive program support, offering a framework for work and dialogue with the local art scene.
Residencia de al Lado, founded by Ginette and Alberto Rebaza, is a family-run project with ten years of activity and more than thirty artists having participated in professional exchanges with the Peruvian art scene. Located in a quiet area of Lima, the residency offers a conducive environment for living, working, and research, fostering an immersive experience and dialogue with the local context.
The collaboration with Residencia de al Lado is part of a long-term vision aimed at creating concrete opportunities for artists and expanding their fields of action.
