Madrid, December 13, 2023.- Art Madrid'24 returns to the art scene and celebrates its nineteenth edition. From March 6th to 10th, 2024, the Galería de Cristal of the Palacio de Cibeles will become the epicentre where the most innovative and current artistic trends from both national and international scenes will converge. On the occasion of its 19th edition, Art Madrid presents its General Gallery Program as well as exciting news about the Parallel Program. Both initiatives aim to enrich the presence of an event that has already surpassed its satellite season, establishing itself in each edition as a reference point on the agenda of both the general and specialized public.

The General Program of Art Madrid'24 consists of 36 carefully selected national and international galleries. The proposals, characterized by experimentation and the plurality of aesthetic discourses, will transform the space into an open window to the most cutting-edge artistic trends. Participating galleries will offer the opportunity to see the production developed by their artists over the past year— a period dedicated to research and experimentation with new aesthetic codes. Throughout the fair, visitors will be able to see how their creative results are redefining the cultural landscape and positioning themselves within the ever-turning wheel of the contemporary art market.

Art Madrid'24 returns with the vitality of its previous editions, accompanying emerging art and structuring an open and transversal fair proposal that brings to the forefront the most pressing issues of our context.

A new and complete Parallel ProgrammeThe Parallel Programme of Art Madrid'24 will feature a wide range of activities and initiatives that will take place in the lead-up to the event and during the days of the 19th edition of the fair in its usual location at the Galería de Cristal of the Palacio de Cibeles:

Art Madrid'24 exclusively presents the first edition of Open Booth, a space dedicated to showcasing emerging artists, highlighted this time by the installation "Reunión de gente importantísima" (Meeting of very important people) by the artist Marina Tellme. The performance series ‘Intercesiones X TARA FOR WOMEN’ revolves around the idea of Intercession: the action and effect of interceding for the well-being of others. It proposes the works of four artists who are beginning their professional journey in the field of performative practices.

"Lecturas. Recorridos comisariados" is a cultural mediation initiative designed to bring the public closer to the exhibition proposals of the galleries participating in Art Madrid'24. For this occasion, we have invited cultural disseminator Eugenia Tenembaum and curator Óscar Manrique.

As a preamble to the fair days, Art Madrid has organized "La Quedada," an itinerary to visit five artists’ studios that are participating in the upcoming edition of the fair.

The X ONE SHOT COLLECTORS Collecting Programme returns for another edition, sponsored by One Shot Hotels. The proposal includes an art acquisition advisory service led by Ana Suárez Gisbert. In this edition, the Curated Interview Section will be hosted by cultural journalist Carlos del Amor.
