Latin America’s most influential art fair returns for its 22nd edition with renewed focus and sharper edges. Running February 4–8, 2026 at Centro Citibanamex, ZsONA MACO 2026 gathers more than 200 galleries from 27 countries across contemporary art, design, photography, and antiques. This year’s debut of FORMA—a section dedicated to the porous boundary between art and design—signals a broader curatorial ambition, positioning Mexico City as a testing ground for material experimentation, cross-disciplinary thinking, and global exchange. Below, a first look at the booths setting the tone early.

A confident anchor for FORMA at ZsONA MACO, Carpenters Workshop Gallery presents a tightly curated dialogue between established figures and emerging voices, including Maarten Baas, Nacho Carbonell, Wendell Castle, Vincenzo De Cotiis, Studio Job, Atelier Van Lieshout, and Léa Mestres. The booth underscores the gallery’s interdisciplinary ethos—where sculpture, furniture, and functional objects operate with conceptual rigor—while reaffirming the growing resonance of collectible design in Latin America.
OMR, Material Memory

OMR’s expansive presentation explores intersections of matter, perception, and symbolic systems through a sweeping roster that spans generations and geographies—from Alicja Kwade and Candida Höfer to Pia Camil, Gabriel Rico, and Trevor Paglen. Moving fluidly between tapestry, ceramics, stone, photography, and algorithmic abstraction, the booth traces a continuum between material memory and speculative futures, positioning OMR once again as a conceptual backbone of the fair.

Returning with a focused selection from its global program, Mariane Ibrahim foregrounds artists including ruby onyinyechi amanze, Raphaël Barontini, Salah Elmur, Maïmouna Guerresi, Clotilde Jiménez, and Zohra Opoku. The presentation reflects the gallery’s commitment to diasporic narratives and transnational exchange. A notable highlight: Carmen Neely, who will debut a solo exhibition at the gallery’s Mexico City space—her first presentation in Latin America.

Pace at ZsONA MACO spotlights new paintings by New York–based artist Kylie Manning in a solo presentation rooted in memory, materiality, and place. Composed with volcanic ash, cinnabar, malachite, and iron-oxide pigments sourced from Mexico’s landscapes, the works draw on Manning’s formative years spent between Alaska and Mexico. Atmospheric and quietly charged, the paintings read as sites of orientation—where grief, love, and movement surface through layered, earthen strata.
Galería RGR, Abstraction Across Generations

Galería RGR at ZsONA MACO delivers a rigorous meditation on abstraction as a living, evolving language. Bridging modern masters—Jesús Rafael Soto, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Gego, Roberto Matta—with contemporary voices such as Jeppe Hein, Felipe Pantone, Ding Yi, and Mercedes Azpilicueta, the booth unfolds as a dense yet coherent map of optical, kinetic, and conceptual abstraction across decades and continents.
193 Gallery, Identity and Imagination

193 Gallery returns with a globally minded presentation emphasizing cultural plurality and dialogue beyond Western-centric narratives. Featuring artists such as Joana Choumali, Lorenzo Vitturi, Thandiwe Muriu, Zoila Andrea Coc-Chang, andModou Dieng Yacine, the booth foregrounds identity, heritage, and imagination—offering a nuanced, interconnected view of contemporary practice across North and South.

In the Ejes section of ZsONA MACO, Asya Geisberg Gallery presents ceramic wall works by Gabriela Vainsencher, in collaboration with Daniela Elbahara Gallery. Drawing on Greco-Roman amphora forms, Vainsencher’s sculptures treat the vessel as both body and symbol—carved, squeezed, and marked with fingermprints. Motifs of ultrasound imagery, swollen bellies, and domestic interiors fold antiquity into urgent conversations around femininity, labor, and care.
