Material Art Fair

About Estación Material

Estación Material is Mexico’s distinctive contemporary art fair: a focused meeting point for galleries, artists, collectors, curators, and art lovers committed to the country’s contemporary art scene.

For its fifth edition, the fair will bring together a carefully selected group of galleries and independent spaces from across Mexico, each presenting exceptional works from their program. Presented in an exhibition-style format at Plataforma, in Guadalajara’s Colonia Americana, Estación Material invites visitors to discover some of the most compelling voices in contemporary art in Mexico today.

Venue: Plataforma

Plataforma is the home of Estación Material in Guadalajara. The fair takes over the entire building, which includes two expansive exhibition floors, an auditorium, outdoor patios, and a rooftop terrace.

Located in the heart of Colonia Americana, Plataforma is a center for contemporary art and curatorial research that hosts exhibitions and public programming year-round.
