Alberto Salvan, Sutter Street and Crestline Road Fort Worth Texas.
The Trasversal Section of SUMMA, with two different routes, has been curated by Gloria Moure (independent curator and current associate editor at Editions Polígrafa) and Marina Fokidis (curator, art critic and founding director of the Kunsthalle Athena). The selection of the participating galleries in the UP section has been conducted by Carolina Grau (independent curator, graduate in art history and management of museums and galleries). The meetings, round tables and presentations on new production formats and other issues, will be led by the curator and critic Octavio Zaya (commissioner Spanish Pavilion Venice 2013).
Juan Nieves, the artistic director of the show, has curated several exhibitions, and for four years was part of the team of Gloria Moure in the Galician Center for Contemporary Art and for six years he was responsible for exhibitions in the Espai d'Art Contemporary Castelló (EACC). As he has commented in an interview "SUMMA 2014 will be a success if the galleries sell, make new contacts, no crowd, interest from the media and if generated interesting discussions at the meetings". And we hope they reach it.
