The floor of Zona Maco buzzed with excitement during its opening preview, kicking off the 16th edition of a fair that has officially cemented Mexico City’s place on the global art world map. As Latin America’s largest and most distinguished fair, over 70 galleries have turned up to showcase an array of emerging and established artists, with most hailing from the region. At first glance, it would appear that the recent election of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has done little to temper the pace of the market, as a steady hum echoes along the expansive floor of the Centro Citibanamex convention centre.
佐纳·马科(Zona Maco)的地板在开幕预览时兴奋地嗡嗡作响,拉开了第16届博览会的序幕,这场博览会正式巩固了墨西哥城在全球艺术世界地图上的地位。作为拉丁美洲最大和最杰出的博览会,70多家画廊已经展出了一系列新兴和成熟的艺术家,其中大多数来自该地区。乍一看,最近总统安德烈斯·曼努埃尔·洛佩斯·奥布拉多(Andrés Manuel López Obrador)的当选,似乎对市场的节奏几乎没有起到什么作用,因为一种稳定的嗡嗡声在中央花旗银行会议中心(Centro Citibanamex)的广阔会场回响。
While Zona Maco is certainly the tonier fair taking place this week – scrappy upstarts Salon Acme and Material Art Fair tend to showcase emerging talent – Zona Maco’s New Proposals section lent credence to the fair’s ability to blend the blue-chip with the brand new. Buenos Aires-based Galeria Nora Fisch followed suit with its mission to present dynamic voices that are as-yet flying under the radar internationally. At the fair, Fisch offers playful, irreverent works by Fernanda Laguna, a painter emanating from an impoverished Buenos Aires neighbourhood. Considering desire through the female gaze, Laguna’s languid, abstract shapes dominate the canvas, but a vivid use of colour is equally memorable.
虽然佐纳·马科(Zona Maco)肯定是本周举办的更卖力的展会-活跃的新秀沙龙、Acme和材料艺术博览会(Matter Art Fair)往往会展示新兴人才-佐纳·马科的“新提案”(New Parts)一节则让人相信,该展会有能力将蓝筹股总部位于布宜诺斯艾利斯的GaleriaNoraFisch也采取了类似的行动,它的使命是呈现动态的声音,这些声音还在国际雷达的雷达下飞行。在展会上,费什提供了费尔南达·拉古纳(Fernanda Laguna)的滑稽、无礼的作品。拉古纳是一位出身于布宜诺斯艾利斯贫困地区的画家。考虑到欲望通过女性的目光,拉古纳的懒散抽象的形状支配着画布,但生动的使用颜色也是同样令人难忘的。

New York’s Paul Kasmin gallery made a return this year, carrying a legion of works by both American and Latin American artists. Punchy, abstract works by Lee Krasner and James Nares break the monotony of white booths with bursts of color, while minimalist, textured works by Mexican artist Bosco Sodi lend visual appeal. Olga do Amaral’s tactile works similarly add volume to La Cometa’s booth – the Bogotá gallery regularly exhibits the most recognised Latin American artists.
纽约的保罗·卡斯明画廊今年回来了,展出了大量美国和拉丁美洲艺术家的作品。李·克拉斯纳和詹姆斯·纳雷斯的抽象派作品打破了白色展位的单调色彩,而墨西哥艺术家博斯科·索迪(Bosco Sodi)的极简、质感作品则赋予了视觉吸引力。奥尔加·多阿马拉尔的触觉作品也同样增加了拉科梅塔展位的音量-波哥大画廊定期展出最知名的拉丁美洲艺术家。
Celebrated local gallery Kurimanzutto brings along the ambitious work of Eduardo Abaroa, who plans to gather enough fake gold chain to surround the entire territory of Mexico. A smaller scale version of this project hangs at the fair alongside works by Abraham Cruzvillegas, who is being exhibited at the gallery’s permanent showroom in the La Condesa neighbourhood.
著名的当地画廊Kurimanzutto带来了爱德华多·阿巴罗阿雄心勃勃的作品,他计划收集足够多的假金链来包围整个墨西哥领土。这个项目的一个较小规模的版本与亚伯拉罕·克鲁兹维利加斯的作品一起挂在展销会上,他正在拉孔德萨街区的画廊永久展厅展出。
The fair’s experimental Zona Sur section builds upon its thesis of taking the temperature of the art world by pushing forth the idea of the performative. Patricia Conde gallery’s Michael Kenna disrupts the harshness of the male gaze with a series of quiet, intimate portraits of a female body wrapped into itself, exposing fleshy folds of skin. Meanwhile, Bruno Gruppalli’s erotic wire sculptures offer some kink, making this section of the fair one of the raciest – and likely, our favourite. §
公平的“实验带”部分是通过对艺术世界的温度进行推敲而构建的。帕特里夏·康德画廊(PatriciaCondeGallery)的迈克尔·肯纳(PatriciaCondeGallery)的迈克尔·肯纳(MichaelKenna)打破了男性凝视的严峻性,有一系列安静的、亲密的女性身体肖像,裹在自己身上,露出皮肤的肉质褶皱。同时,BrunoGrupalli的色情线雕塑提供了一些纽结,让这一部分成为最可爱和最有可能是我们最喜欢的。?
