Parallel to the General Programme, ARCOmadrid will also have three curated sections. Its research theme for 2023 will be Mediterranean: A Round Sea, curated by Marina Fokidis, with the advice of Bouchra Khalili, Hila Peleg and Pedro G. Romero, with the intention of mobilising relationships from bottom to top and side to side, in an endeavour to arrive at a meeting point for the shared intensities of this geographic area. The presence of 20 galleries from 13 countries will make it possible to delve deeper into works by artists such as Anna Boghiguian -KOW-, Iman Issa -Rodeo-, Jumana Manna -Hollybush Gardens-, Mohamed Bourouissa -Kamel Mennour-, Silvina Der Meguerditchian -Kalfayan Galleries-, Stefania Strouza -A.Antonopoulou.Art-, Laia Estruch -Ehrhardt Flórez- and Hana Miletić -Lambda Lambda Lambda-.

Opening by Allianz, will again provide a space for the discovery of new proposals at the fair. The selection by Julia Morandeira and Yina Jiménez Suriel will represent the fair’s belief in young national galleries with the participation of 17 galleries including Constitución, Foro.Space, HOA, Pequod Co., The Liminal and Zina.

Never the Same. Latin American Art will help strengthen research into Latin American creation and its relationship with all the players present at the fair. Curated by Mariano Mayer and Manuela Moscoso, it will be made up of a selection of artists from Latin America with 11 galleries including Jaqueline Martins, Max Mayer, Karen Huber, Crisis, Proyectos Ultravioleta and Hache.

The Forum will take place in addition to the contents, expanding on the analysis of art from the Mediterranean region with a structure as multi-faceted and plural as the actual art practises of the different countries, and will take us closer to the commitment and constant support of collectors from different contexts.

ARCO and the city of Madrid will provide a unique experience for all fair visitors.
