The selected exhibitors herald from all over the world, with particular emphasis on emerging galleries in the global south, forming important dialogue with exhibitors rooted in Europe and North America. While the selection process was both inspiring and challenging at times, given the incredible range of applicants, I am confident that this year’s presentation will provide visitors with a wealth of opportunities for discourse and discovery,” said Aimé Iglesias Lukin, Director and Chief Curator of Visual Arts at Americas Society in New York.

The 2023 Exhibitor sections will be presented alongside EXPO CHICAGO’s rigorous and challenging on-site programming, including /Dialogues panel discussion series, and IN/SITU, large-scale suspended sculptures and site-specific works, curated by Claudia Segura, Curator of Exhibitions and Collection of the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA).
