ARCOmadrid 2012

ARCOmadrid is launching its 2013 edition with Turkey as Guest Country. The event will be held on 13-17 February next year. After constituting the Fair's new Organising Committee, the period for requesting participation is from 23 April to 3 July.  

As it continues evolving into a fair for discovery and exploration, it will continue to focus on the artists and the programmes of the participating galleries, while introducing new initiatives promoting its facet as a meeting place bringing together the most active professionals and international collectors.

One of the main attractions of the Fair will be FOCUS ON TURKEY, curated by the head of research and programmes at Istanbul's SALT, Vasif Kortun. The regular curated programmes are also widening their focus, so that OPENING will go from being a section exclusively devoted to European galleries to embrace the international scene. Meanwhile, SOLO PROJECTS will present a selection of specific projects by Latin American artists, and after the positive reaction to the last edition, the “Featured Artist” and Solo Objects initiatives will return.

ARCOmadrid's activities are once again geared to promoting collecting and the sharing of projects and information among professionals. With this in mind, the Fair will welcome the 2nd Meeting of European and Latin American Museums, the 11th Expert Forum, with roundtables on collecting, and the Professional Meetings. .
