Art Week in Mexico 2025

Exhibitions you can't miss at Art Week Mexico 2025
In addition to Zona Maco and the other fairs, galleries and museums in the capital will open exhibitions starting on Monday, February 3 that will enrich the artistic circuit
This February 5th, Art Week Mexico 2025 begins, the event that brings together the most outstanding current artistic production in the world in Mexico City every year.

In addition to the fairs, such as Zona Maco, Material, Salón Acme and BADA, different galleries and museums will open exhibitions that will enrich the artistic experience of those who will meet in the capital of the country these days.

These are some of the museums and galleries that are joining the exhibition circuit:
Anahuacalli Museum

The emblematic venue that houses Diego Rivera's pre-Hispanic art collection presents the exhibition “How do you spell death in the south?” by artists Carolina Fusilier (Buenos Aires, 1985) and Paloma Contreras Lomas (Mexico City, 1991).

The exhibition, which opens on Tuesday, February 4, consists of a series of physical and sound interventions that will take over the museum's halls and corridors.

“Based on different fictions that come from the ghostly imaginary of the museum and the figures that inhabit it, the pieces proposed by the artists dialogue with their personal narratives, the architecture and the symbols around this enigmatic monument/museum/mausoleum,” describes the venue.

The exhibition opens on Tuesday, February 4, at 2 p.m. At Museo 150, San Pablo Tepetlapa.
Bosco Sodi at Casa Wabi Sabino

Bosco Sodi (1970, Mexico City), known for his large-scale paintings with bright colors and striking textures, will open a solo exhibition on February 3 at Casa Wabi Sabino, the artist's studio-gallery.

That same day, the space located in the Atlampa neighborhood will open two other exhibitions: Situar la orilla de cosmos, by Sergio Suárez, a series of monumental woodcuts that evoke the works of Mexican muralists; and Space Is a Magic Place (But Earth Is Better), by Italian artist Marsica Fossati.

Fossati presents two sculptures that create a science fiction setting in the gallery. These are pieces made of stainless steel that seek to create a kind of “psychic planetarium” in which they seek to show that “much of what is good on Earth (our curiosity, our spirituality, our cosmic consciousness) is the legacy of alien travelers from the galaxy who arrived here in shiny spaceships.”
Galería Unión

Galería Unión, a space that for more than 5 years has sought to link artists who document the outskirts of large cities with collectors, will also open on Monday, February 3, the exhibition Wark of Art. Invasion, by Colombian Samir Elneser (Bogotá, CO. 1989).

This artist's exhibition “maintains a discourse on the relationship of memory with territory and politics,” which he conceptualizes in an installation alluding to the war that is unleashed on the other side of the world and which, in the form of satire, is experienced in the “art world,” as he calls it.

This materializes through a cross of missiles made of cardboard, wood, vinyl, paint and wool. It opens on Monday, February 3, 2025, at 6pm, at Tehuantepec 223, Colonia Roma Sur.
Proyectos Monclova

The Proyectos Monclova gallery, located in Polanco, brings a rich program of exhibitions this week that will dialogue with the proposals to highlight Latin American art at art fairs.

The space will open three exhibitions on February 4: Desde nuestra propia altura, by the Tercerunquinto collective that, since 1998, has developed sculptural projects that affect both public and private spaces, questioning the limits between them.

That same day, the exhibition La sombra de la montaña tiene tatuajes, by Noé Martínez, opens, in which the artist delves into Mexico's colonial past.

The third exhibition is Cosmic Painting by Circe Irasema, a proposal that reflects on the permanence of pictorial materiality from dust, “an alternate history of painting from the ephemeral and feminine form of body painting.”

On Tuesday, February 4 at Proyecto Monclova, Lamartine 415 Polanco V SECC., Miguel Hidalgo.
