New Proposals
Curated by José Esparza Chong Cuy (Mexicali, 1984). The section will present artistic practices that, as the title suggests, aim to change frameworks. Rather than focusing on the time-based definition of “new,” this section will showcase work by artists that points towards imaginative and experimental ways of living and thinking.

_ⓢZONAMACO SUR
Curated by Juan Canela (España, 1980). The section aims to reflect the expanding movement of the historical narratives in art that have flourished over the last millennium. This edition of Z(s)ONAMACO SUR focuses on showcasing the work of artists who have expanded and keep expanding the action frameworks in art, bringing together historical and contemporary professionals from the global south and paying special attention to the context of the Americas.

Modern Art
Curated by Daniel Garza Usabiaga (Mexico, 1975) and Alma Ruiz (Guatemala, 1950). For the eighth time, this section shows historic pieces by international artists and provides an outlook on different genres, as well as emblematic pieces mainly created during the 20th century.

FORO
Curated by Anna Goetz (Switzerland, 1984). This new section is defined by an open structure, aiming to bring different voices in dialogue and foster new forms of collaboration between galleries to present their artists. The title for the 2020 edition, OPEN RELATIONSHIPS, broadens the idea of rethinking established dynamics in the art system towards a reconsideration of traditional mechanisms and structures in our everyday defining our way of acting and thinking.
