​​Estampa, International Contemporary Art Fair, announces its 33rd edition, taking place from October 9–12 at IFEMA MADRID, with Liliana Porter as the guest artist, presenting a project created specifically for the occasion.

The Argentine artist has developed her career across a wide range of media, including printmaking, painting, drawing, photography, video, installation, theater, and public art. In her work, she explores the performative power of gesture, the primal formulation of geometry, the circular nature of time, and the consequences of chaos on individual experience in relation to social conventions and nature, always with the aim of engaging the viewer as a protagonist in their everyday world.

The trace left by a movement as it occurs has been the starting point for the artist in playing with the meanings evoked by materials, the poetic value of simple actions, and their theatrical potential. The characters in her works are directed by Porter as if they were actors in a film cast; through them, she tells stories that examine the sometimes subtle relationship between reality and fiction, the paradoxes of the passage of time, and the demands of humanist values.

For the fair, Porter will create a site-specific mural and present a book dedicated to her artistic journey, featuring texts by Cuauhtémoc Medina and Inés Katzenstein.
