Pinta PArC consolidates year after year a program of outstanding curators to position modern and contemporary art from Latin America in the world.
Irene Gelfman is the General Curator of Pinta Art. Additionally, she is in charge of directing special projects aimed at further expanding Latin American art, fostering the presence of contemporary Latin American art both locally and internationally, with the ultimate goal of giving visibility to emerging and established Latin American artists.
At Pinta PArC 2024, she directs Video Project.
In the framework of the celebrations being held for the 100th anniversary of the birth of Jorge Eduardo Eielson (Lima, 1924 - Milan, Italy, 2006), Pinta PArC will have a special section entitled Artist Tribute dedicated to the artist and curated by Sharon Lerner. The artistic proposal will feature works from public and private collections from the 1980s and will highlight the B-side of the artist's production.
From the RADAR Section, the aim is to highlight a set of artistic productions that, through various languages and mediums, focus on the ability of art to reeducate our perception regarding our environment, sensitize us regarding the care of natural resources, and prioritize ancestral practices and knowledge in the face of the imminent crisis of habitability on our planet.
This year, NEXT renews its commitment to make the work of emerging artists visible through sustained collaboration with six galleries representative of the diverse art scenes of Latin America and its diaspora. These six spaces have been chosen for their impetus in reinvigorating contemporary gallery practices, adapting creatively to the complex conditions of the Latin American context.
FORO will be the starting point to establish exchanges that contribute to the strengthening of dialogue and collaboration networks for contemporary Latin American visual arts.
Special Project encourages the realization of site-specific projects that can co-exist with the architecture of Casa Prado's hall, which, due to its stylistic and spatial characteristics, allows artists to delve into different artistic languages and formats.
The Sculpture Garden brings together the work of artists who reflect on the relationships between open space, nature, landscape and architecture. The section opens up to an imaginative and interactive dialogue between the artistic proposals and the spatial features of the venue, presented in the front garden of the Casa Prado.
