Zona Maco in Mexico City
in facebook.com
Despite being held in Mexico City, with a majority of artists and galleries originating from Latin America, Zona Maco Sur, the project room section of Zona Maco, has always resisted the strictly Latin American territorial or geographic boundaries. Margins and limits always call for questioning. Thus, Zona Maco Sur has taken up the more open, poetic and imprecise denomination of Sur [South], and since its incept...ion has paired artists from Latin America with those from Africa, Eastern Europe and the Middle East. At times other artists have also been invited to Zona Maco (from Western Europe and the United States), yet in these few outside cases their projects have explored local sources and references.
Zona Maco Sur echoes the exhibition program at Museu de Arte Pampulha in Belo Horizonte in 2002–2003, which I co-curated with Rodrigo Moura and which was dominated by women artists not as a programmatic strategy, but as an end result; many of these appear now in Mexico City—Carla Zaccagnini, Débora Bolsoni, Marilá Dardot, Rosângela Rennó, and Sandra Cinto, Valeska Soares. Zona Maco Sur 2011 has much of the same spirit. Yet it also enlarges the focus on emerging and younger artists, so typical of project room sections, in order to encompass senior and historical figures—Geta Bratescu, from Bucharest, Margarita Paksa, from Buenos Aires, and Regina Silveira and the late Mira Schendel, from São Paulo. Zona Maco Sur remains an experiment, and as such, it is only possible on a platform such as the one offered to us by Zona Maco in Mexico City."
