Salon ACME celebrates its 11th edition!

This 2024, Salón ACME will celebrate its eleventh edition from February 8 to 11 during the Art Week in Public Projects in Mexico City.

Salon ACME is an art platform created by artists for artists that gives visibility, promotion and dissemination to emerging creators. Since 2013, it has held ten editions and has positioned itself as one of the most authentic contemporary art events internationally, fostering new audiences and consolidating a community of artists, curators and collectors. Salón ACME has six sections: Open call, Bodega, State, Projects, Patio and Sala.

• State: Nuevo León

The horizon is not a straight line

Curated by Abril Zales

The State represented in this edition is Nuevo León, curated by Abril Zales. The horizon is not a straight line is a nod to the embodiment and materialization of artistic or contemporary practices of a landscape that is not flat, distant, calm or contemplative.

• Bodega: Night Garden

Curated by guadalajara 90210

 The exhibition is designed as a night walk in a pictorial garden. Taking the notion of displacement as the narrative plot of the museography, six cubes mark the space, obstructing the public’s view while simultaneously generating a temporality in which the pieces are revealed along the route. 

Artists: Lorena Ancona, Alicia Ayanegui, Celestial Briseda, Christian Camacho, Isa Carrillo, Omar Castillo Alfaro, Celeste, Darío Escobar, Mariana Garibay Raeke, Hernán Gonzalez, Rodrigo Hernández, Enrique López Llamas, Anuar Maauad, Chavis Mármol, Josué Mejía, Jonathan Miralda Fuksman, Roger Muñoz, Aurora Pellizzi, Andrés Pereira Paz, Cosa Rapozo, Gabriel Rico, Milagros Rojas, Guadalupe Salgado, Lucía Vidales.

• Projects: How to work better

Curated by Ana Castella

27 rooms of Projects will be presented. On this occasion we have the participation of galleries and spaces from Argentina, Colombia, Spain, Canada and Mexico.
