Director Alejandro Zaia remarks: "we wanted to reduce slightly the number of exhibitors in this edition to be able to offer larger and more open exhibition spaces to many of the galleries that come to Marbella each year, as well as to expand the VIP area that will be dedicated to art and design. This year we will have a careful selection of 42 galleries and 6 special projects that will be able to show their work in ample spaces, larger than the average of other art fairs ".
Like it did in prior years, ART MARBELLA will support the city’s important cultural offer during the week of the fair. This year’s highlights include the exhibition “La Escucha de Jaume Plensa: recordings and latest editions” curated by Chema de Francisco at the Museo del Grabado Español Contemporáneo, including a sound installation by the artist.
The fair’s Advisory board will once more include representatives from renowned galleries like Pedro Carreras (CarrerasMugica) and Carles Taché (Carles Taché Gallery). The layout of the current edition is substantially the same as last year's, designed with the support of prestigious Estudio Herreros, responsible, among other projects, for the ARCOmadrid fair in its 2008 and 2009 editions, the design of exhibition spaces in the Museo Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, the remodelling of the MALBA museum in Buenos Aires, the new Carreras Múgica gallery in Bilbao and the Munch Museum in Oslo.
ART MARBELLA’s renowned VIP and Collectors programme continues to attract collectors and personalities. This year it will include private visits to art centres such as the Centre Pompidou and the CAC in Málaga, and exclusive parties at Puente Romano and Marbella Club. At the fair, the VIP Lounge will be designed by Blanca Pera Interior Design and will be inspired by the Dolce Vita, a space that will show works by So What Studio formed by local artists Paula Vincenti and María Egea.
