With a work by Lido Iacopetti presented by Aldo de Sousa at the beginning of the fair, as a La Plata's city grail, as Facundo Belén—artistic director of Plateada alongside Virginia Martin—described it, the fair presents its 2026 edition in the main hall of the Teatro Argentino, in La Plata, Argentina.

Just as Emilia de las Carreras (Buenos Aires, 1989) looks at the hermit crab and understands that leaving a mark means that life leaves marks on you too, engaging with her artistic practice inevitably means that little crusts of her narrative stick to us: the methodology she works with, her intuition as a collector, her thinking of the body as geology, her obsessions, her skeletal and exoskeletal sculptures. The artist's work explores bodies and their remains through a visual and sensory operation crossed with scientific research and self-knowledge, giving shape to pieces that evoke an intersection of the archaeological, the clinical, and the speculative. Her approach to art could easily fill dozens of pages; this is only one chapter.

The Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Buenos Aires (MACBA) presented the work of two women artists. In ¿Cómo suenan las lágrimas antes de secarse? (What Do Tears Sound Like Before They Dry?), Ivana de Vivanco builds a warning. Snakes, with their capacity to sense catastrophe. In Curada de espanto (Cured of Fright), Ornella Pocetti brings together scenes that hold a story that never fully reveals itself. Both artists hold the abyss steady through anticipation and the suspicion of an estrangement. All you have to do is pay attention.

At Casa Santa Ana, Panama, the Argentine artist presents Este rincón, mi rincón through September of this year, a show that stirs a desire to sense in the air traces of vanquished scenes, as Muljat paints them.
