In its endeavor to support and promote art from Latin America, Pinta continues to offer collectors and art lovers, curators and specialists, a platform comprising two sections of the fair Pinta FORUM and Pinta EDITIONS that focus on documentary and printed material, as well as on the importance of the theoretical framework for the context of art.
Pinta FORUM will present a three-panel roundtable cycle directed by Roc Laseca, aimed to propose a new format in dialogue that intends to invert the classic model debate found in the context of art fairs, and attempts to create a more open space that may fuel thought and discussion revolving around the specificity of Latin American art, as well as its relationship with museums and collections, taking the city of Miami as the axis for this debate.
Laseca will pose important questions to three groups of guests whose subject for debate will be different questions regarding private and public collections: the fair-format support as part of the process of collaboration in the creation of collections and archives; the role of the city in relation to the connections that arise from the discussion on art, and what are the initiatives and contributions of collections both in a regional and an international context.

He is especially devoted to the study and implementation of peripheral cultural programs engaged with local logics. Some of his most recent curating projects include exhibitions and site-specific programs by Jannis Kounellis, Jesper Just, Magdalena Fernández, Marcius Galan and Alejandro Otero, or the forthcoming first-ever Miami solo exhibition by Carlos Garaicoa, among others.

PINTA EDITIONS 2014
Pinta EDITIONS is the section of the fair devoted to the promotion of the editorial sector specializing in the countries represented in our event. As main host of Pinta Editions, Fundación PROA continues to privilege the need to create a platform for disseminating the editorial profile of Latin American foundations committed to contemporary visual and audiovisual arts. All of the institutions that have been invited to participate are recognized for the rich culture of their countries of origin, which they will represent by exhibiting recent editions and publications about the visual arts produced in Latin America, Spain, and Portugal.
The institutions invited to Pinta EDITIONS 2014 are: Americas Society, New York; Blanton Museum, Austin; Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation (CIFO) Miami; Fomento Cultural Banamex, Mexico D.F; Fundación Cisneros, New York; Fundación Proa, Buenos Aires; Museum of Fine Arts Houston; Museo MALBA, Buenos Aires; Museo Mali, Lima; Colección Fundación Banco Mercantil, Caracas; Paralelo 10, Bogotá; The Drawing Center, New York.
Fundación PROA is a private art center that develops, as part of its foundational proposal, educational programs and exchange programs involving agreements with prestigious cultural institutions. Its general program, focusing on the dissemination of the great 20th century art movements, includes a wide diversity of current proposals such as photography, video, design, and electronic music, besides the launching of special projects. With an annual program of temporary exhibitions, and the organization of seminars, courses, lectures and concerts, Fundación Proa is an unavoidable reference point for art in Buenos Aires City.
Both sectors of the fair, Pinta FORUM and Pinta EDITIONS, will offer an updated perspective and a space for debate on the panorama that defines this phenomenon of Latin American art, promising to become a pleasant space for sharing reflections, exchanging publications and proposals for dialogue that are relevant to the axis of the fair.
