8 Must-See Works at Zona MACOMexico City, a densely populated urban hub- where ancient art andarchitecture exist alongside a blossoming contemporary art scene- iswhere Zona MACO will invite international exhibitors and collectors forits 14th edition. This complexly layered cosmopolitan city hostsinnumerable newly constructed museums in ex-industrial districts (theMuseo Jumex and Museo Soumaya among them), as well as flourishinggalleries in charming colonial neighborhoods such as La Condesa. Thecity’s sense of grit and glitter is expounded by the emerging andestablished artists selected below, who are spearheading Spanish andLatin American art. Engaging with themes of cultural commentary, oftenunderlining individual experiences on global scales, you will also findsubtle, quieter works, which innovate abstraction and call inward to theirown medium. Here I list the top eight works every collector should beafter at Zona MACO.

Tatiana Blass

Encrenca_ Trobbel, 2014

Johannes Vogt GalleryCreating works in various media, including painting, sculpture, video,and performance, Tatiana Blass creates surreal environments from everyday objects, resulting in an alluring sense of chaotic, tactile, and suspended mystery; she created one such environment at the Museum of Contemporary art in Denver in 2013. Born in São Paulo, Blass presents a suite of paintings with Johannes Vogt Gallery, and a video that more closely reflects her interest in communication breakdowns, represented through tangled webs.
