Please find below an overview and brief description of the artists whose work we will present at Art Basel Miami Beach this year.
IGNASI ABALLÍ
Ignasi Aballí (Spain, 1958) traces the elusive marks left by the passage of time in work that uses an eclectic range of unconventional materials such as dust, corrosion, newspaper clippings, shredded banknotes or typewriter correction fluid. The delicate visual poetry that emerges is instilled with a haunting yet unsentimental sense of absence and ephemerality that pervades Aballí’s conceptually-oriented sculptures, paintings and photographs. Aballí has had solo shows at Macba, the Pinoteca do Estado de Sao Paulo, the Serralves Museum and elsewhere, and he was invited to participate in the 2007 Venice Biennial.
CARLOS BUNGA
Carlos Bunga (Portugal, 1976) creates process-oriented works -- installations, performances, video, drawings – that refer to and intervene in their architectural surroundings. While often using ordinary, unassuming materials such as packing cardboard and adhesive tape, the resulting finished works involve an extreme degree of aesthetic care and delicacy, as well as a conceptual complexity derived from the inter-relationship between doing and undoing, between unmaking and remaking. Bunga has had solo shows at the Miami Art Museum and MARCO, and he has participated in Manifesta 5, the Lisbon Architecture Triennial, Sao Paulo Biennial and the Carrara Sculpture Biennial.
FERNANDA FRAGATEIRO
The work of Fernanda Fragateiro (Portugal, 1962) explores space in its various phenomenological manifestations -- architectural, sculptural, private, public, temporal, socially determined, gender-defined – via works of sculpture, installation and outdoor interventions. While varying frequently in scale and drawing on a wide range of reference material, Fragateiro’s work maintains a strong signature style, born of a meticulous minimalist aesthetic of form, color and surface texture. Her work was featured in the 2010 Lisbon Architecture Triennial.
CARLOS GARAICOA
Carlos Garaicoa (Cuba, 1967) creates architecture-based installations that are characterized by an intense engagement with contemporary cities, and in particular with his native Havana. Incorporating architectural models, photos, drawings, video and language, Garaicoa’s wide-ranging yet highly personal work is at all times imbued with an exquisite execution and a carefully-controlled aesthetics that manage to invoke poetry as well as politics and to suggest intimacy as well as provocation. Garaicoa has had solos shows at the ICA in Philadelphia, MOCA in Los Angeles, the Irish Museum of Modern Art and other museums internationally, and he has participated Documenta 11, the Sao Paulo Biennial, the Venice Biennial.
MARIO GARCIA TORRES
The research-driven work of Mario García Torres (Mexico, 1975) approaches art history as a rich artistic material in itself. García Torres’s varied work includes photographic presentations, conceptual installations and language-based pieces, and frequently revisits the overlooked interstices in the art of recent generations. But while rooted in research, Garcia Torres’s lively and intriguing finished works actively invoke the artist’s individual presence, thus entering in, partaking of and ultimately extending the very history under revision. García Torres has had solo shows in the Reina Sofía Museum, the Kunsthalle Zurich, the Stedelijk Museum and elsewhere.

Carlos Bunga (Portugal, 1976) presenta en OPA “Espacio mental”, un proyecto concebido específicamente para sus instalaciones. Utilizando la arquitectura del lugar como punto de partida, Bunga crea un laberinto hecho de cartón que representa la complejidad del pensamiento durante el proceso de trabajo. El espectador refuerza la experiencia observando el video que documenta el recorrido de esos pasillos, aludiendo al acto de pensar: ese ir y venir de las ideas, a veces con un objetivo claro y a veces incierto.
La obra de Bunga se caracteriza por explorar los límites entre la pintura y la escultura, trabajando sobre las dimensiones pictóricas y la arquitectura. Sus instalaciones y objetos con frecuencia consisten en construcciones de cartón y cinta adhesiva que remiten a escenarios de fragilidad, pintadas de color que, por instantes, quisieran esconder su condición de impermanencia. También en sus dibujos y videos explora estos aspectos: la fragilidad y la temporalidad presentes en nuestra cotidianeidad.
Carlos Bunga nació en Oporto, Portugal en 1976 y actualmente vive y trabaja en Barcelona. Cursó estudios de Artes Visuales en la Escola Superior de Arte e Design en Caldas da Rainha, Portugal. Participó en la bienal de arte contemporáneo Manifesta 5 (San Sebastian, 2004). Ha tenido exposiciones individuales en MARCO, Museo de Arte Contemporáneo en Vigo (Heterotopias, 2009), Milton Keynes Gallery (UK, 2006) y Culturgest (Portugal, 2005). También ha formado parte de exposiciones colectivas como Warsaw Under Construction en el Museo de Arte Moderno de Varsovia (2009), Time as Matter en el Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Barcelona (2009), Construir, habitar, pensar, Valencia en el Instituto Valenciano de Arte Moderno (IVAM, 2008), Unmonumental: The Object in the 21st Century en el New Museum, Nueva York (2007) Things Fall Apart All Over Again en el Artists Space en Nueva York (2005) y Farsites: Urban Crisis and Domestic Symptoms in Recent Contemporary Art, inSite_05 en San Diego (2005), entre otras. Este año participó en la Bienal de Carrara y en la Bienal de Sao Paulo.
