The great contemporary art fair

ARCO 2024. The great contemporary art fair elevates a new generation
The 43rd edition of the International Contemporary Art Fair will be held from March 6 to 10 at IFEMA MADRID with the participation of 205 galleries from 36 countries.

It seems that this edition is the one in which, finally, we see a dialogue starring a new generation of artists... Those are the news and the expectations. We will go for a walk between conversations and we will tell it.

BOW
National representation this year stands at 35% of the offer through the participation of 73 Spanish galleries. For its part, the international segment rises to 65% -132 galleries-, and of this, close to 30% is accounted for by the Latin American presence, with the participation of 38 galleries from 13 countries, with a special presence from Argentina, Brazil and Mexico. . In this way, ARCOmadrid continues to project its unique position as a Latin American reference in Europe.

New galleries
Among the international galleries participating in the General Program, ARCO celebrates the incorporation of galleries such as Max Hetzler, Vera Munro, Air de Paris, Fortes D’aloia & Gabriel, Lévy Gorvy Dayan and Hollybush Gardens. These join the loyalty of others such as Thaddaeus Ropac, Mai 36, Jocelyn Wolff, Chantal Crousel, Krinzinger, Nächst St. Stephan Rosemarie Schwarzwälder, Giorgio Persano, Lelong, Meyer Riegger, Perrotin, Poggi, Neugerriemschneider and Thomas Schulte. Galleries such as Capitain Petzel, Société and Chertlüdde, or Mendes Wood Dm, Nicolai Wallner, and Kalfayan Galleries are also once again placing their trust in the fair.

Parallel to the General Program, ARCOmadrid will have three curated sections. It incorporates as a research theme for 2024, the shore, the tide, the current: an oceanic Caribbean” which, curated by Carla Acevedo-Yates and Sara Hermann Morera, proposes, based on a careful selection of artists and galleries, a reading of the complex intersection between the land and this sea that arises from and towards the shore as a space of exchange and constant instability: "intervening in the discomfort of placing oneself between the liquid and the solid", as the curators point out. In a space specially designed by Ignacio G. Galán, Arantza Ozaeta and Álvaro Martín Fidalgo, 19 galleries will participate, such as David Castillo, Hutchinson Modern & Contemporary, Monique Meloche, Patron, Praise Shadows Art Gallery, Tern Gallery, Espacio Mínimo or Helga de Alvear.
Openning
Opening. New galleries will once again be the space for discovering new proposals at ARCOmadrid. The selection of Cristina Anglada and Yina Jiménez Suriel will represent the commitment of young international gallerism with the participation of 15 galleries such as Artbeat, Blue Velvet, Eins Gallery, Espacio Continuo, Fermay, Hatch, Remota, Sissi Club and The Space Art Gallery, which participate for the first time.

Latin America
The Never the Same section. Latin American art will contribute to strengthening research on Latin American creation and its relationship with all the agents present at the fair. Curated by José Esparza Chong Cuy and Manuela Moscoso, it will be made up of a selection of artists from Latin America from 12 galleries such as A Gentil Carioca, Jaqueline Martins, _Vigilgonzales, Isla Flotante, Millan, N.A.S.A.L. and Ultraviolet Projects.
