Zona Maco Announces Fifth Edition with Expanded Programme, Asia Focus
The Facts
On July 24, 2026, Zona Maco announced its fifth edition, featuring new curated sections and an expanded programme that connects the global art world to Asia. The fair will present a range of concurrent exhibitions across Mexico City galleries, including a solo show of 75 works by Helen Escobedo at Proyectos Monclova and seven paintings by Ambera Wellmann at Lulu. Other highlights include Noe Martínez's exploration of colonialism at Parque Galería, Peter Fischli's everyday-object sculptures at House of Gaga, and Michael Smith's performance-based installation at Museo Jumex.
The Signal
The announcement reinforces Zona Maco's position as a key platform for Latin American contemporary art, while the emphasis on Asia suggests a deliberate effort to foster cross-regional dialogue. The curated sections and expanded programme aim to attract international collectors and institutions, and the integration of gallery exhibitions around the fair underscores Mexico City's growing art scene.
