REPETITION AND TRANSFORMATION - SPECIAL PROJECT AT PINTA BAphoto

The Argentine artist Guillermo Kuitca was commissioned to create a site-specific work in the chapel of the Hôtel Salé, home of the Musée national Picasso-Paris. The final commission, whose canvas is the walls of the chapel, can now be visited.

Gachi Prieto Arte Contemporáneo inaugurates CAMBRE, an individual exhibition by Juan José Cambre. With unpublished works, the artist continues his obsessive search for a color and its variants, which eventually become a sort of chromatic labyrinth.

The Shame (Behind the Scene) is Cynthia Cohen’s first solo show in Miami, at Dot Fiftyone Gallery. The exhibition is curated by Laura Isola. Cohen’s paintings regenerate the historical gaze on the naked female body, creating new relationships between the work and the viewer. She disrupts the logic of art history, reinventing the relationship between subject and observer, private and public. Her work simultaneously veils and unveils sexuality.

The Museo Moderno announced that La Menesunda, the legendary work by Marta Minujín and Rubén Santantonín –a work originally created in 1965, reconstructed by the Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires and inaugurated in 2015 and later in 2019 at the New Museum in New York– is on view for the first time in Europe as part of a tour that will show it in four countries.

Lorenzo González Baltazar will be part of the NEXT | Out of Focus section with Primor Gallery, in the 20th edition of Pinta BAphoto. He presents his project Sapucay Marica, with photographs that capture the coexistence of the rural and the queer, performance and tradition, the intimate and the collective.

The eighth edition of Video Project, curated by Irene Gelfman, invites us to immerse in the concept of territory through the moving image. In video art we find a sense of curiosity and exploration that challenges our ideas of materiality and expands to embrace the most intimate. In six selected works, the notion of territory addresses bodies, landscapes and symbols, questioning the stability of physical and conceptual limits. The territory becomes a fluctuating space, as critical as the viewer's place.

Pinta BAphoto –the most important photography fair in the region– presents as a new feature the RADAR section, curated by Sebastián Vidal Mackinson. In an interview with Arte al Día, Sebastián reflects on the diversity of approaches in photography today and its growth as a medium capable of dialoguing with other forms of artistic expression.

The region's most important photography fair Pinta BAphoto opens its doors October 24-27, 2024, at La Rural, Buenos Aires, Argentina. A celebration of the fair's twentieth anniversary with curatorial projects, spaces for artistic exploration, debates among experts and proposals from artists that cross photography with other disciplines.

Pinta BAphoto celebrates its twentieth edition at La Rural, consolidating itself as one of the most important fairs dedicated to photography in Latin America. This annual event brings together galleries, artists and collectors, and throughout its two decades, it has been an essential platform for the development and dissemination of photographic art, both locally and internationally.

The Tribute Artist section of Pinta BAphoto celebrates a decade exhibiting the trajectory of photographers who had an active participation in the field, seeking to recover and value their figure. This edition, curator Francisco Medail presents Jaime Bolotinsky, a Russian-born photographer based in Buenos Aires who was a pioneer when it came to composing his portraits, using everyday elements and a precise handling of light.

Confines of Paraguay is the initiative of Fernando Allen and Fredi Casco that is part of the Main Section of Pinta BAphoto. It is a project that began with a photographic approach, but expanded into an editorial, audiovisual and documentary archive -along with other activities- related to the works of popular and indigenous artists from Paraguay.

Pinta BAphoto closed its 20th anniversary at La Rural, Buenos Aires, Argentina, after a weekend that brought together the best of photography in the region and was a meeting point for gallery owners, artists, curators, collectors and photography lovers. The fair attracted more than 14,000 visitors during its three days open to the public.
