UNTITLED, ART (Dec 5 – Dec 10)
Untitled, Art was founded in 2012 and focuses on curatorial balance and integrity across all disciplines of contemporary art.

The pertinent concepts of shelter and identity will be explored in this year’s projects and programming (highlights include Deus Cortado, a site-specific installation of paintings, sculpture, and stop-motion animations by Thiago Martins de Melo, Hotspot, a beach tent installation by Bogotá’s CARNE and San Juan’s Km 0.2, and Sergio Vega’s Shanty: on the mimetic faculty, a shanty dwelling comprised of discarded and raw materials). For highlights from Untitled, Art 2016, click HERE.
