The official open-call page lists a curatorial council for the upcoming edition, including Carlos Amorales, Gaby Cepeda, Attilia Fattori Franchini, Tonatiuh López, Tatiana Rais, and Patricia Ortiz Monasterio. Results are scheduled to be announced on 17 December 2026. Therefore, the final artist selection should not be assumed based on previous editions.
The venue is part of the event’s character. Proyectos Públicos provides an architectural setting quite different from a uniform convention hall. A work can be experienced through a sequence of rooms rather than a grid of identical stands. The final installation will determine how those spatial conditions are utilized in 2027.
The open-call emphasis also gives visitors a specific question to consider: what makes a practice legible when several works or artists appear in close proximity? A strong presentation should allow differences to endure. Discovery becomes less interesting if every unfamiliar artist is reduced to a single story about new talent.
The council combines experience in artistic practice, curating, writing, cultural management, and the gallery world. These perspectives can bring different criteria to a selection. The eventual result will be interesting when the chosen works retain their individual demands rather than seeming to confirm a single professional consensus. For a visitor, this means allowing an unfamiliar work time to establish its terms before deciding whether it belongs to a general story about the next generation. The selection is an introduction to the practices, not their final interpretation.
