Perú presenta su participación en feria ArcoMadrid 2019.

No one should have been surprised, in January 2012, by Sharon Lerner´s having been designated to lead the contemporary art exhibition projects of the Lima Art Museum (MALI). Two years earlier, she had been awarded the curatorial scholarship of the Wattis Institute of Contemporary Arts, supported by the Kadist Art Foundation, and a Master's Degree in Curator Practice at the California College of the Arts.
Even before the opening of Arco Madrid 2019 - Ifema, February 27 to March 3 - her curatorial work is already described as profound enough for her to have been chosen as the one to select the thirty-three artists in charge of showing the contemporary production of Peru as the guest country this year: a reason more than enough for Arte por Excelencias to go in search of this prestigious curator. She is currently working on finalizing details of Peru´s section in Arco, which has the support of the Ministries of Culture and Foreign Affairs of Peru, the embassy of that nation in Spain and Promperú. «I have made a selection of Peruvian and international galleries that represent Peruvian artists of interest. I want to understand it as a particular reading, one among the many possible ones, of Peruvian artistic production».
