Notes related to Peru

With the curatorship of Verónica Santalla and the collaboration of Miguel López, this meeting space is proposed in a hybrid format, combining in-person talks at the Pinta PArC auditorium and audiovisual content.

Curated by Florencia Portocarrero, the NEXT section brings together seven galleries that are committed to visibilizing the work of young and/or emerging artists. The section seeks to function as a window, for the public of the fair, to the various cities of Latin America in which the gallery projects are registered; such as Buenos Aires, Cusco, Lima, Cholula, Rosario, Quito and Santiago.

The SOLO PROJECTS section exhibits six artists represented by their respective galleries. The section is intended as an opportunity to highlight the production of contemporary artists in such a way that visitors can relate to their work in a deeper and more personal way.

As a novelty, this year Pinta PArC presents a new space with a leading role marked by the textile art of Tiodoro Pacco. Institutionally and with the curatorship of Jerson Ramirez, the aim is to recover, highlight and celebrate the traditional techniques and artistic work of the region. The space is thus dedicated to the exploration of memory, the transmission of cultural values​​and the examination of the processes and formats that are interwoven in the Peruvian artistic identity.

The ninth edition of PArC, Perú Arte Contemporáneo, will take place between April 20^th and 24^th, 2022. Integrated into the Pinta universe, the most relevant international art fair in Peru is characterized by an experimental program and a selection of galleries with diverse and contemporary proposals. Pinta PArC, positioned among the most relevant cultural exchange platforms in the region, can be visited at Casa Prado (Av. 28 de Julio 878, Miraflores). For more information: www.parc.pinta.art

Herbert Rodríguez (Lima, 1959), artist from Herlitzka + Faria, will participate in the 59 International Art Exhibition in the Venice Biennale: The Milk of Dreams. The exhibition at the Peruvian pavilion La paz es una promesa corrosiva (Peace is a corrosive promise) gathers 30 works and a projection of handcrafted slides. Among the works, there will be pieces of agit-prop (a mixture of photomontage, collage, stencil, silkscreen, and painting) and his mural newspapers Arte – Vida (Art – Life) made in 1989.

Negar el desierto (Denying the Desert) is a group exhibition that affirms the persistence of the coastal landscape in the imagination of the artists who inhabit or visit it. The desert is a full space, abundant in historical, emotional and political density.

The Museo de Arte de Lima -MALI, announces that its most recent General Assembly of Associates appointed Sharon Lerner as the Museum’s new Director. This appointment occurs within the framework of the reopening of the museum and the exhibition rooms of its collection, after two years of being closed to the public.

The PArC fair, which stands among the most relevant cultural exchange platforms in the region, will take place between April 20^th and 24^th, 2022 at Casa Prado, Lima

The Museum of Art of Lima - MALI presents this exhibition of the outstanding Peruvian artist curated by the historian and art critic Luis Eduardo Wuffarden. Based on the so-called mixed race paintings commissioned by Viceroy Manuel de Amat y Junyent and sent to the King of Spain Carlos III in 1770, Sandra Gamarra commissioned their reproduction to a copyists' workshop in China. On these she added quotes from different contemporary feminist thinkers. In response to the absence of original works in Peru, this series, made up of twenty paintings, has been donated by LiMac to the MALI collection of contemporary art.

The project, by Luz María Bedoya, explores multidisciplinary relationships between navigation, sound and writing. It has a digital platform and a physical installation in MALI.

The exhibition, at the Vigil Gonzales gallery in Valle Sagrado, brings together the work of seven Latin American artists who question the generalizations imposed on the countries and cultures of their region, and address issues such as politics, neoliberalism, and the art market.

Overcoming the distances and obstacles created by the global crisis, Latin American art continues to stand strong. With a specially designed section -REMITENTE-, created in collaboration with Mariano Mayer, ARCO is witness of a strong latin protagonism.

The 36-year-old Peruvian artist presented 'Papapatriarchy', an irony to the representation of the patriarchal figure that constitutes a reflection on the personal experiences of hers and many other women.

Set in Valle Sagrado de los Incas (Peru), the works are exhibited along with a made-for-the-occasion text written by Rafael Mayu Nolte. Taking its elements from banking, advertising and finance, the show aims to expose the ways in which a generation was manipulated and even suffocated by monetary schemes. Through metonimias and the deliberate invisibility of all identities but the white male, Cieza Hurtado speaks to the middle-class consciense of Lima.

The Chilean artist Pablo Linsambarth (Santiago de Chile, 1989) exhibits in VIGIL GONZALES’ Online Viewing Room (Peru). The exhibition aims to account for a new figurative aesthetic in development in the American continent. Taking into consideration the historical and social framework that surrounds Linsambarth's artistic impulses, the paintings on display are part of an equally interesting dialogue on an aesthetic, conceptual and political level.

The Peruvian artist, represented by the 80M2 Livia Benavides gallery, won one of the three gramts presented each year by the Cisnero’s Research Institute for the Study of Art from Latin America, established by the Museum of Modern Art in 2016 to support new research by artists, curators and scholars.
