ARTBO | Fair Sections

ARTBO | Fair features 4 commercial sections for galleries:

Principal
Galleries from all over the world are chosen by the Selection Committee to participate in this section. The fair’s selection is a balanced mix of established, emerging and cutting-edge galleries that participate in the 21m² category.

Proyectos
Contemporary artists with the commercial representation of a gallery are selected and invited by a curator to present a special project.

Referentes
This curated section focuses on historical works that shifted paradigms and shaped art history, thus becoming referents for contemporary artists. The pieces exhibited in this museographic exhibition belong to the archives of galleries participating in the Principal and Proyectos sections.

Sitio
Galleries in the Principal section have the possibility of nominating sculptures, installations, performances and projects whose nature require a different space from the traditional booth.

While its non-commercial sections include: Artecámara, an exhibition featuring the work of emerging Colombian artists with no commercial representation; Foro, a series of talks centered on the different dynamics of contemporary art; and Libro de artista, which brings together different publishers working with books as an artistic medium.
