Pinta Lima consolidates year after year a program of outstanding curators to position modern and contemporary art from Latin America in the world.
Irene Gelfman is the Global Curator of Pinta. Her curatorial approach covers all Pinta events, with the goal of promoting Latin American art through a variety of initiatives. Among these, she selects renowned experts for the fair sections and coordinates their curatorial proposals, which undergo a careful selection and validation process, ensuring high-level projects in the field of Latin American art. Additionally, she is responsible for the Video Project and Special Project at each fair, which highlight the diversity and innovation of Latin American art.
The RADAR Section presents a journey through intergenerational artists from Latin America, exploring themes of identity, gender, nature, and the digital age.
The NEXT section of Pinta Lima 2025 explores the integration of unconventional crafts into contemporary art, influenced by the knowledge of Indigenous groups. Additionally, it presents meditative practices that question the relationship between thinking and making, proposing a polyphony of artistic approaches that go beyond representation to conceive and build the world.
This space honors the distinguished Peruvian artist Teresa Burga (1935-2021), a pioneer of conceptual and multimedia art. Recognized for her experimental approach, Burga challenged the norms of contemporary art since the 1960s, exploring pop aesthetics, mass culture, and the interaction between genders.
FORO will be the starting point to establish exchanges that contribute to the strengthening of dialogue and collaboration networks for contemporary Latin American visual arts.
Special Project encourages the creation of site-specific projects that can coexist with the architecture of the hall and garden of Casa Prado. Due to its stylistic and spatial characteristics, it allows artists to explore various artistic languages and formats.
As part of the FORO, the ‘Charlas de Colección’ (Collection Talks) cycle will be inaugurated, coordinated by Pablo León de la Barra. This is a program of formation and reflection that will address the various formats of collecting in Latin America.
