ARCOmadrid

Spain’s International Contemporary Art Fair, ARCOmadrid celebrates its 42nd edition with the mediterranean at its core and runs from February 22nd to 26th, 2023. The programme, ‘The Mediterranean: A Round Sea’, curated by Marina Fokidis, with Bouchra Khalili, Hila Peleg and Pedro G. Romero, will hinge on the art scenes of the countries surrounding the Mediterranean, from north to south and coast to coast.

The ‘Opening by Allianz’ section curated by Julia Morandeira and Yina Jiménez, presents young galleries and the ‘Never the Same. Latin American Art’ section, curated by Mariano Mayer and Manuela Moscoso, seeks to strengthen the historical ties between ARCOmadrid and Latin American art.
