ARTEBA 2013 EDITION 22
arteBA is one of the most important fairs for contemporary art focused mainly on art production in Latin
America, and is the event of the greatest cultural magnitude in the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina. It
takes place in May of every year at the convention site of La Rural, in the city’s Palermo district. In 2013,
it had its 22nd edition and gathered some 100,000 visitors; 82 galleries participated, from Latin America,
the United States, and Europe, presenting the work of approximately 500 artists. The galleries were
distributed over sections with set profiles: a main showing space, U-TURN Project Rooms, Solo Show, and
Barrio Joven. The fair’s OPEN FORUM Auditorium, with its open and free-of-charge admission, was once
again structured on the basis of a plan of panel discussions about contemporary Latin American art, thus
providing a forum for encounters between leading figures on the international art scene and the local art
scene’s major representatives. In addition, special art projects were exhibited, outstanding among them
the tenth edition of the arteBA-Petrobras Visual Arts Prize, one of the artistically most important
competitions in Argentina; this year’s winner of the Stimulus Prize + Petrobras Grant (an award of
$100,000 [Argentine pesos]) went to Enrique Ježik.
arteBA 2013, 22nd EDITION took place from Friday, May 24 through Monday, May 27, with its preopenings on Wednesday May 22 and Thursday May 23, exclusively for the institutions, museums, and
collectors who entered before the general opening for the public to make acquisitions.
The participating galleries, both the well-established and the emerging ones, are chosen in each edition
by distinct selection committees and curators, with the purpose of maintaining the quality and
professionalism of the fair. By marking out distinct sections for the galleries within the fair, arteBA has
answered to the needs of the galleries, collectors, and the visiting public. At the same time, the fair also
has helped in the growth of the Latin American art scene, serving as an annual meeting point for the
various figures in this domain and for new collectors.
The fair is organized by the arteBA Foundation, a not for profit and not governmental organization active
since 1991 for the purpose of supporting artistic production in Argentina and Latin America. The
Foundation contributes through its annual activities to the development of the contemporary art market,
promoting debate about contemporary art and helping in the promotion of the work of Latin American
artists, so that they may receive wider attention outside of their geographical boundaries.
_______________
arteBA Fundación is made up of an Administrative Council, an Advisory Council, an International Committee, a Young
Committee, and a professional staff.

MEETING PLACE
This year, the fair placed special emphasis on the international, as was noticeable in the
increased presence of galleries from abroad, participation by a greater number of foreign
curators guiding the various projects (Cuauhtémoc Medina in the arteBA-Petrobras Prize,
Abaseh Mirvali in U-TURN Project Rooms by Mercedes-Benz, Pablo León de la Barra in the
Arcos Dorados Solo Show, Chus Martínez in the Open Forum, among others), and the presence
of key figures from the international art scene who took part in the fair’s Open Forum, with a
program of lectures and debates held in the auditorium designed by the recently deceased
Clorindo Testa.
Testa worked to the end of his days, and the arteBA auditorium was one of his last projects.
By virtue of its having a structure that can be dismantled, the auditorium will be moved very
shortly to the Museum of Modern Art of Buenos Aires (MAMba), where it will remain in use for
new debates and lectures until the next edition of the fair, when it will return to its original site
at La Rural. This posthumous work by Testa will undoubtedly stand as the best homage that
could be paid to this master.
On the other hand, a significant group of foreign collectors traveled to Buenos Aires for the
event, strengthening the idea of building bridges with the international community, an element
also bolstered through the visit of José Roca of the Tate Gallery of London, who for the first
time purchased an important historic piece by Marta Minujín for that institution, thanks to the
contribution by private donors.
Together with arteBA´s concern to attract more international collectors, the foundation
continue with annual activities to form local collecting, and in 2013 initiated the Young
Committee with the idea of adding a different public for contemporary art and thus shaping a
new generation committed to current-day art production.
Thanks to the support of the Government of the City of Buenos Aires, in 2012 a brand-new
exhibit infrastructure was set up for the participating galleries, and in 2013 the distance was
widened between the galleries and the aisles of the fair, for a better appreciation of the works
on view.
The arteBA Foundation work throughout the year is revealed and put to the test in the few,
intense days of the fair, a platform for the exchange and activation of many connections
between the Argentine art scene and those of other countries around the world.
arteBA will keep on working so that more institutions, businesses, and individuals commit
themselves to taking the same path toward supporting, acquiring, and circulating
contemporary art-making.
In this sense, the fair as a meeting point for the various figures in this sphere, contributes to
the growth of the local art scene, definitely positioning it in both a Latin American and an
international context.

OPEN FORUM – AUDITORIUM
The auditorium for arteBA 2013 was planned by the architect Clorindo Testa.
Year after year the arteBA Foundation organizes the OPEN FORUM, the auditorium program
of the fair, located in Pavilion 9 of La Rural, with open and free-of-charge admission, and
access independent of the fair.
In 2013, and after three years of thinking of how they could work in tandem, arteBA
Foundation and Masisa Argentina pooled their experience and turned this desire into
a reality in inviting the prestigious Argentine architect and artist CLORINDO TESTA to
design the auditorium.
In this way, all the discussion panels could be taken in inside an auditorium specially designed
and built for arteBA by Clorindo Testa and Masisa Argentina. The auditorium of Clorindo
Testa, who recently passed away at the age of 89, was became a posthumous
architectural work and a great homage to one of the most recognized and long
accomplished architects in Argentina.
Testa planned an auditorium that could be easily taken apart. En In the next few days, the
auditorium will be moved to the MAMba (Museum of Modern Art of Buenos Aires)
where it remain is use for new debates and lectures, until the next edition of the fair in May
2014, when it will return to its place of origin at La Rural. This will be made possible thanks to
the arteBA Foundation, Masisa Argentina, and the Ministry of Culture of the Government of the
City of Buenos Aires, the main sponsor of the activities of the OPEN FORUM.

OPEN FORUM – CONTENTS
Chus Martínez was responsible for the Prime Time section of the OPEN FORUM 2013
Each edition of the OPEN FORUM offers a significant program related to the Latin American art
market and its schemas of validation, circulation, and debate. The spirit of this forum at
arteBA, without precedent in the cultural events of Argentina for these characteristics, has
been to generate a forum for encounter among leading figures in the international art
scene and local figures, one which can, from within our country, enrich current
debate in Latin America. The Auditorium Program is structured around a plan of panels in
which these strategies are publicly debated. Through the auditorium program, arteBA has
established alliances with institutions such as MoMA in New York, the Houston Museum of Fine
Arts, Austin’s Jack Blanton Museum, the Tate Gallery of London, Casa Daros in Rio de Janeiro,
MALI in Peru, the São Paulo Pinacoteca, the Jumex Foundation / Collection of Mexico, Inhotim
of Belo Horizonte [Brazil], among others.
In the programming of the Open Forum are the ART CONVERSATIONS, a series of
intimate and in-depth talks between Alicia de Arteaga, art critic for the daily La
Nación and major local collectors, BOOK PRESENTATIONS, and PRIME TIME.
For arteBA 2013, the Prime Time of the OPEN FORUM was held at 6PM and was led by Chus
Martinez (Curator in Chief of the Museo del Barrio in New York, and director of the curatorial
department of dOCUMENTA (13), 2012).

OPEN FORUM –PRIME TIME PROGRAM
Adventures in the Immediate Reality
A three-part debate project on the rationales that guide the work within the contemporary art
scene, on the methods that shape the ideas, and on the strategies that can still be
implemented. To situate artistic praxis, the works and the artists in the center of discussions is
one of the most trying tasks. It is fundamental to demonstrate that research in culture is an
exercise in speculation necessary for the economy and for any future in social relations that
does not have as its principles either paternalism or mercy. Fundamental for the future of a
political imagination able to go beyond understanding that criticism is defensiveness and
imagining that criticism is putting out ideas, is proposal-making.

COLLECTING AND ACQUISITIONS
José Roca of the Tate Gallery attended arteBA and purchased a historic piece by Marta Minujín for the London museum.
Major collectors visited this new edition of arteBA, such as Horacio and Dinorah
Campolietto, Humberto and Rosalia Ugobono, Pepe Alvarez and Mari Carmen Pont, all from
Puerto Rico. From Mexico came César Cervantes, who also took part in a talk at the Open
Forum, David Ramírez Chavez, José Noé Suro, and Armando Beltrán, together with a group of
collectors from Guadalajara. From the U.S.A. Gail and Louis Adler, with their son Mark came as
they do every year; from Denver, Ken and Judy Robins; from Los Angeles, Kai Loebach, Fran
and Mark Ishimaru; and from Washington, Daniel and Mirella Levinas. An important group also
came from São Paulo, led by the collector Jaqueline Shor, and various members of the Nucleo
Contemporaneo of the MAM SP. Patricia Fossati Druck, the director of the next Bienal do
Mercosul, was in attendance, as were Pedro Barbosa and Samuel Lacerda. From Colombia, a
group of collectors led by María Paz Gaviria, among them Claudia Hakim, Katherine Bar On,
Sergio Ferreira, José Dario Gutierrez, and Vicky Turbay. Crossing the cordillera from Chile
came Juan Yarur and Francisco Alwyn, among others.
One of the most important activities to take place within the fair are the Acquisitions Programs
for Museums and Corporations, creating high expectations among the viewing public, the
participants in the fair, local and international collectors, and the communications media that
lead the coverage of developments at arteBA. For arteBA 2013, the TATE Gallery of London
received a donation by Argentine individuals for that museum to make a purchase for
its collection. José Roca (Estrellita B. Brodsky Adjunct Curator in Latin American Art of the
Tate Gallery of London), a special guest to the OPEN FORUM of the fair, was entrusted with
selection of the piece. The work chosen was the documentation of a public action by the artist
Marta Minujín, one of the most important Argentine creators of her generation. This
11
documentation consists of five photographs and a video from the time of the installation/public
action Partenón de libros [Parthenon of Books], made in 1983 to celebrate Argentina’s return
to democracy. This piece gains added meaning this year with the thirtieth anniversary of this
crucial event. The work in question was shown at the 11x7 Gallery (Argentina)/ Henrique Faría
Fine Arts (U.S.A.) during the fair.
CITI, Silver Sponsor of the fair, was once more, for the fourth year in a row, the host of the
Citigold Art Night Pre-Opening, which took place on May 22, offering its guests the
opportunity to visit arteBA and purchase works before the official opening of the fair. CITI
likewise donated US$25,000 (twenty-five thousand dollars) for the Malba –Costantini
Foundation to purchase a work for its collection. On this occasion, the work chosen was a
sculpture by the Argentine artist Mónica Girón. The piece, entitled E-XS: Arrayán dates to the
year 1994, and corresponds to a series that the artist – born in San Carlos de Bariloche –
made 15 years earlier to convey a sense and express the transformation of Patagonia. The
work is a set of 13 exoskeletons that represent the torso of a four-year-child with bayberry
(myrtle) skin; it is made out of epoxy resin and polychromatic fiberglass. The work was
purchased from the ZavaletaLab Gallery and has great importance for the Malba, since it
already has among its holdings various other works by this widely recognized contemporary
Argentine artist. In its role as sole sponsor of the Programa de Coleccionismo [Collecting
Program] and the VIP Program of arteBA, CITI offered the assessment service in the
purchase of contemporary art, ART ADVISORY. This was a free-of-charge, professional,
and independent service, run by an assessor from Spain, ELISA HERNANDO from Arte
Global; over 30 interested parties took advantage of this program. Thanks to CITI, in the
month of March 2013, the third series in the Panorama of Latin American Contemporary Art
was held, a series intended for collectors, art critics, and art curators, designed to expand their
knowledge of current art. Participating in this series of lectures were Virgilio Garza (Mexico),
Pedro Barbosa (Brazil), Raúl Naón (Argentina), and Cuauhtémoc Medina (Mexico). Likewise, in
the month of May the presentation “Contemporary Argentine Art” was held, with the subtitle
New Trends in the Decade 2000 – 2010,” given by Laura Batkis, the Gallery Selection
Committee President for arteBA 2013.
In keeping with the tradition of each edition of arteBA and as part of its ongoing support of
cultural and artistic activities, Chandon, for the thirteenth year in a row, bought the first work
at the fair behind closed doors. This time, Chandon acquired three works by Alfredo Londaibere
that were exhibited in the Galería Cosmocosa. Two of them, from 2011, are “Untitled” (from
the Flowers and Fruits Series),” painted in tempera on paper, measuring 50 x 42cm. The third
purchase was “Untitled (from the Landscapes Series),” a collage on acrylic, measuring 72 x
52cm, done this year. The works received the Chandon Acquisition Prize, and will be donated
to the museum created at the Maison de Moët Hennessy Argentina, the company’s new
headquarters in this country.
It was the ninth edition of the Matching Funds Program, this year with the support of
TELEFE, which is once again a media partner of the fair. This activity enabled three
museums in Argentina to build up their collections of contemporary art. For each of the three
museums TELEFE slated the sum of $30,000 (Argentine pesos) while at the same time each
museum matched or outmatched this sum with the above-mentioned matching funds. The
three museums that will enhance their collections through this program are: Malba - Fundación
Costantini, the Franklin Rawson Museum of San Juan, and the Museum of Fine Arts of
Neuquén. For the Malba – Costantini Foundation a work by Mariano Dal Verme was bought
from the Ruth Benzacar Gallery: “Untitled (drawing)”, 2013, made with lead graphite on paper,
74 x 51cm. For the Franklin Rawson Museum of San Juan the work chosen from the Abate
Gallery was “Untitled” by Santiago Villanueva, a mix-media work on burlap, from 2013,
12
dimensions, 200 x 300cm. Also a work by Alfredo Hlito from the Teresa Anchorena Gallery, “2
Efigies con zócalo” [2 Effigies with Plinth], oil on fabric, 1985, 40 x 30cm. The choice for the
National Museum of Neuquén was a work by Marta Minujín shown at RO Gallery,
“Sobreviviendo en flúo” [Surviving in fluorescent]. Hand-painted cotton mattress ticking with
fluorescent colors, cut and sewn, plus neon. 50 x 40 x 35cm, 2013.
Madero Harbour, the real estate company, joined the fair as a Silver Sponsor in 2013 and
used the platform that arteBA offers it to begin its contemporary art collection, purchasing a
work by the artist Carolina Antoniadis from the Galería Del Infinito, "Estilo Aguayo" [Aguayo
Style]: in the Andes, Aguayo is a colorful wool shoulder bag, acrylic and lacquer on cloth, 200
x 200cm, 2013. The work was chosen by a selection committee made up of Alicia de Arteaga
(art critic for the daily La Nación, Buenos Aires) and Javier Villa (freelance curator, Buenos
Aires).
In a new edition of Impulsarte, the Contemporary Art stimulus program, La Rural acquired
five works at arteBA 2013. The works will enter the company’s art collection. The choice of the
works was entrusted to a Selection Committee made up of Eva Grinstein (critic, teacher, and
curator of contemporary Argentine art), Victoria Verlichak (art critic, writer, and journalist),
Arturo Rubinstein, and Juan Pablo Maglier (managers of La Rural). The criterion for each of the
works chosen answered to the program’s objectives: to foster the development of young
artists on the local scene, and promote the art industry and the arteBA fair per se, thus
contributing to its regional and international profile. The new works chosen were:
1) Title: Untitled, from the Seasonal Greetings series [sic: in English]/ Artist: Octavio Garabello
/ Year: 2013 / Gallery: Mite / Dimensions: 45x60 cm / Medium: tempera on paper
2) From the Seasonal Greetings series [sic: in English]/ Artist: Octavio Garabello / Year: 2013

5) Title: Hongo [Mushroom]/ Artist: Viviana Blanco / Year: 2011 / Gallery: Palatina /
Dimensions: 100 x70cm / Medium: charcoal
This is the fourth year in which Manifesto conducted its Acquisitions Program, launched at
arteBA 2010. This artistic and cultural stimulus plan is based on the annual acquisition of art
works during the fair. The pursuit of this program is building up a collection of works
consistent with the firm’s own vanguard image. This year they bought a work by Antonio Berni
from the Ruth Benzacar Gallery. “Ramona vive su vida” [Ramona Lives Her Life], 1963.
Xilocollage [wood collage]. 148 x 62,90cm.
Similarly the Hotel Meliá Recoleta Plaza for the first time joined the acquisitions program for
institutions and businesses promoted by arteBA Fundación. The Hotel began its video collection
at the fair. The curator designated to select and direct the formation of this new collection was
Karina Granieri who, together with representatives of the Hotel, made a special tour of the fair
to decide which pieces would start off their collection. They chose a video installation by the
artist Ananké Asseff by the Rolf Art Gallery, “Contemplación”, 3x2mts, a video performance
from 2012, “Los desechos se levantan en el aire” [Waste Rises Through the Air] by Jimena
Croceri at the Militantes gallery in Barrio Joven Chandon, and the Video “Teoría de los tres
demonios” by Lux Lindner exhibited at Proyecto A from Argentina.

YOUNG CURATORS PROGRAM – BANCO CIUDAD
Stills from DOBLES [Dubbers], Video installation of the work in progress by Leticia El Halli Obeid.
On the occasion of arteBA.2013, arteBA Fundación and Banco Ciudad launched the
Young Curators Program, dedicated to encouraging, supporting, and giving visibility
to Argentine professionals of the last generation. This program sought to offer an
unprecedented experimentation venue for the development and exhibition of a curatorial
project chosen by a committee of experts. The selection committee was made up of Sonia
Becce (freelance curator, Argentina), Patrick Charpenel (director of the Jumex FoundationCollection, Mexico), and Graciela Speranza (writer and art critic, Argentina), and invited young
Argentine curators to take part in the competition with an exhibition project they conceived.
After evaluating the various proposals they received, the committee chose as winner
LARA MARMOR (Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1977), who received $50,000 (fifty
thousand Argentine pesos) to work out her proposal and exhibit it at arteBA 2013. At
arteBA 2013 she presented DOBLES, a video by the artista Leticia el Halli Obeid.
DOBLES [DOUBLES or DUBBINGS] is a video that gathers together a set of interviews that the
artist Leticia El Halli Obeid conducted with well-known actors who do dubbing in Mexico City,
the historical cradle of the dubbing industry. Some of those interviewed are Jorge “Tata"
Arvizu, the voice of Pedro Picapiedra and of Super Agent 86 (of Get Smart); Francisco
Colmenero, dubber of Mickey Mouse, Papá Pitufo (Grand Schtroumpf), the off-screen
voice of The Dukes of Hazzard; Dulce Guerrero, the voice of Fiona in Shrek; Marina
Huerta, the voice of both Bart and Marge Simpson, and Humberto Vélez, creator of
“Homero” Simpson’s Latino voice. In the interviews, the dubbers interpret their characters
and share stores and anecdotes about their métier. These masters of dubbing have left
indelible traces in our memories of brilliant voices and phrases, expressions they often came
up with themselves, such as the Spanish equivalent of Super Agent 86’s You actually believe
half of what I say, chief?, or Superman’s unforgettable call as he takes to the air: To fight for
justice! Drawing on the viewer’s emotional memory, DOBLES retrieves from anonymity these
dubbing artists who refer to themselves as “the miners of art”; it shows the backstage reality
of a cultural product, the laboratory of what is known as “neutral Spanish,” and it also poses
such questions as: What is a neutral language? Is it an invention, a stylization constructed out
of “real” languages? To what degree is it incorporated into the culture and into our daily life?
Are all the varieties of Spanish “democratically” represented in that language, or do some
varieties prevail over others?
Leticia El Halli Obeid reflects on language and identity on the basis of an audiovisual structure
that shows the tensions between image, word, and sound. DOBLES occupies a porous
boundary space between video art and documentary. It offers an interesting resistance to
pigeon-holing in any single genre, and from there it possesses the capacity to prompt new
interpretations for thinking about the time we live in.

ARTISTS’ SPECIAL PROJECTS AT THE FAIR
Installation by Leo Battistelli in the Chandon space at arteBA 2013
- GACHI HASPER / PATIO BULLRICH PROJECT
The artistic and cultural stimulus plan Patio Bullrich, which participated in arteBA 2013 for the
sixth year in a row, consists of developing special projects by Argentine artists. In recent
editions the artists presenting their projects, all conceived specifically for the fair, were Marta
Minujín, Edgardo Giménez, Dalila Puzzovio, and Nushi Muntaabski. In 2013, the artist
chosen was Gachi Hasper who presented a new production in which she included 30
minutes of animation incorporated into a sculptural piece shaped as a tunnel that
could be traversed.
- LEO BATTISTELLI / CHANDON PROJECT
In keeping with its innovative tradition of delving into the latest trends in art, Chandon this
year exhibited an impressive installation by the artist Leo Battistelli that stood as a
welcoming sign to the Barrio Joven Chandon. This new work by Battistelli, an Argentine artist
who lives in Brazil, was developed specifically for this edition of arteBA yet at the same time
stood as a further link in this artist’s signifying chain. The work was made out of ceramic,
porcelain, and glass, among other materials, following his line of producing contemporary art
by drawing on age-old techniques. Whereas the artist has used glass before as a glaze for his
ceramics, it was the first time that he used it on its own. Battistelli has been experimenting
with ceramics for many years. He moved from the small studio in his own house to working on
a grand scale in the Verbano plant, in the province of Santa Fe (Argentina), and later worked
with the firm Cerâmica Luiz Salvador, in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). His works has a powerful
spiritual component and show a strong bond between nature and art.

OTHER PRIZES AND GRANTS GIVEN AT THE FAIR
Awarding of the Premio en Obra at arteBA 2013: The artist Nicolás Vasen, Geraldine Schwindt, and Rosario Guiraldes
(directors of Galería Peña), Roxana Sucari, Alejandro Ikonicoff, and Irana Douer (gallerist of RUBY) in representation of
the artist Luciana Rondolini.
The EN OBRA Prize is an important initiative that encourages the habit of of disinterestedly
supporting the visual arts and award the creative talent of Barrio Joven Chandon; the prize
was set up and run by Juan Cambiaso since 2008, and this year Roxana Sucari assumed the
leadership for continuing to encourage Argentine businesses and individuals to eagerly join in
the activity of art patronage. Once again Alejandro Ikonicoff collaborated in the organization
and development of this year’s Prize. With assurance that this practice makes a valuable
contribution in the art system, the Prize pooled together a significant amount for distribution
among the prize recipients. In its 2013 edition, the EN OBRA Prize sought to strengthen its
commitment to developing the career of the artists, and in addition to awarding a prize to a
gallery project; it gave prizes to two artists, with the aim of contributing to the development of
their careers. The two winning artists who each received the amount of $25,000
(twenty five thousand Argentine pesos) are Luciana Rondolini of the Galería RUBY
(Buenos Aires) and Nicolás Vasen of the Galería Peña (Buenos Aires) who will also
have shows next year at the Recoleta Cultural Center of the City of Buenos Aires. The
Galería Peña also received the cash prize of $12,500 (twelve thousand Argentine
pesos) for its exhibit and artistic presentation within the fair. A guest jury of collectors
made up of Consuelo and Gabriel Guilligan, Valerie Corcias, Esteban Dib, Juan José Cattaneo,
and Elio Kapszuk (representing the Recoleta Cultural Center) was responsible for the prize
awarding. The criterion remained the exclusive consideration of the jury, entirely independent
of the instigator and donors of the prize.

FLORA – ART RESIDENCY IN COLOMBIA
For this edition, the Cultural Ministry of the Government of the City of Buenos Aires reaffirmed
its commitment to Argentine art production, awarding a fellowship to a young artist to take
part in FLORA, a residency for training, production, and artistic exchange in Colombia, with
emphasis on the relation between art and nature. José Roca (Director/founder of FLORA)
together with Victoria Noorthoorn (Argentine freelance curator) chose the Argentine artist Max
Gómez Canle as recipient of the grant.
ArtNexus – NOMINATION FOR THE ARTIST EDUARDO BASUALDO
In the context of arteBA 2013, the artist Eduardo Basualdo, represented by Galería Ruth
Benzacar (Argentina) was nominated for the acquisition prize of EFG Bank & ArtNexus. The
work “Transmutación,” (a site-specific work from 2013 in glass and rope) by artist Eduardo
Basualdo was chosen by Jose Ignacio Roca, curator, in collaboration with Celia Sredni de
Birbragher, director and editor of ArtNexus. The acquisition prize for an emerging Latin
American artist was part of a process of pre-selection in four fairs devoted to contemporary
Latin American art: ArtBo, Bogotá; SP Arte, São Paulo; arteBA, Buenos Aires, and Ch.ACO,
Santiago de Chile. Once the group of four candidates has been made up, the winner will be
selected. The aim of the prize is to promote the production of visual arts among emerging
contemporary artists, and to create greater awareness of the regional fairs in Latin America
among collectors around the world.

A NEW SECTION OF THE FAIR: PUBLISHING ISLAND - PROA FOUNDATION
The designer Federico Churba created the display furniture for Isla de Ediciones [Publishing Island] Fundación Proa
Curators of the section: Lucrecia Palacios and Eva Grinstein
The textual medium has become fundamental for contemporary art and publications on artists
and shows have multiplied. In this context, arteBA, this year for the first time, allotted
an area devoted entirely to publications on art, on the understanding that
publications function as motors on a circuit dominated by contemporary artists,
writers, editors and publishers, book dealers, and printers.
The publications selected were gathered into Isla de Ediciones [Publishing Island] with the sole
sponsorhip of the Proa Foundation. With its very name, Isla de Ediciones Fundación Proa aims
to recognize the relation of autonomy and alterity, but also of dependence and inseparability,
that publications on contemporary art have with the world of galleries, museums, and
institutions.
Publishing Island Proa Foundation emerged, within the overall offering of the fair, with the
central aim of providing exposure to the main publishing project in Argentina and Latin
America, laying stress on the titles and collections that offer a theoretical and informational
support to contemporary Latin American art. Also presented were titles, projects, and relevant
collections which, without being conceived specifically for Latin America, provide further
information on relevant artists or institutions.
19
Although its members tend to overlap and converge, Publishing Island, for the greatest
possible comprehensibility, was organized into four areas that took stock of some of the
most significant players on the art circuit: bookstores and institutions, publishing
houses, art magazines, and independent editions.
By the same token, in launching this new section in arteBA, nine fanzines were selected from
Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico, were printed by Talleres trama, and distributed free of charge in
the course of the fair.
