Under the curatorship of Florencia Portocarrero, “Seccion Next” of PArC 2019 proposes the visualization of six emerging galleries with regard to the contemporary scene of their regions.
Young galleries and independent spaces presenting the work of the most promising emerging artists in Latin America
For the first time PArC presents the Next section, a space that seeks to give visibility to young galleries and independent projects that are supporting the new generations of Latin American artists and redefining the language of the contemporary in each of their contexts.
