Curator Giuliana Vidarte
NEXT at Pinta Miami 2024 brings together the proposals of eight South American galleries that are currently fostering the creation and experimentation of Latin American artists, while establishing dialogues and exchanges with the public in each of the cities where they carry out their exhibition programs.
In Bogotá, Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Lima, Rafaela, Rosario, and Valparaíso, these projects—managed by artists and gallerists—contribute to the formation and debate around the identities, histories, and memories of each locality, and build contexts for the consolidation of regional narratives in contemporary art. From apartments, salons, homes, virtual environments, and white cube galleries, these spaces present exhibitions that tackle critical perspectives on shared issues and experiment with possible responses to the challenges of the global future.
In the 2024 edition of NEXT, fifteen artists participate with projects that intervene in imaginaries about the history and territories of the Americas, proposing a renewal of ways of coexistence, collaboration, and exchange between beings and knowledge. Reencounters with ancestors, relationships with animals and protective spirits, reinterpretations of mythology, religious iconography, and popular culture, dystopian approaches to devastated landscapes, and new bonds with machines and technologies, as well as utopias of reconnection with the land, its visions, and processes, are addressed to reflect on ways of inhabiting possible futures within the contexts of crisis and conflict in contemporary human communities.
