ARCOmadrid 2017: Argentine Invasion and South American Collections

ARCOmadrid 2017 dedicates a prominent role to Argentina, with over sixty artists across disciplines. The institutional program, curated by Sonia Becce, includes 'Perspectiva' at CA2M Mostoles featuring Jorge Macchi, a dialogue with contemporary works at Thyssen-Bornemisza, and the distributed exhibition 'En el ejercicio de las cosas' across eight venues. At CentroCentro, Eduardo Berti and Monobloque present 'Inventario de inventos inventados'. Leandro Erlich recreates installations at Fundación Telefónica. Museo Reina Sofía screens David Lamelas' 'Tiempo como actividad' and hosts 'Art et Liberté' and a Bruce Conner retrospective. Three South American private collections—Hochschild (Peru), Costantini (Argentina), and Coppel (Mexico)—receive the Premio A. The Coppel collection is shown at Fundación Banco Santander, with a selection also at Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo in Turin. Eduardo Costantini's collection is displayed at Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando, including Diego Rivera's 'Baile a Tehuantepec'. Eduardo Hochschild's collection debuts in Europe at Sala Alcalá 31.
