SUMMA is an international contemporary art fair that is staged to coincide with the start of the new season for the Madrid art galleries and museums. SUMMA promotes a new type of fair with a careful selection of galleries, adapting to the requirements of new collectors, and helps change relationships and common practices in purchasing artwork and dealing with galleries.
SUMMA introduces talented new international artists from all over the world to an audience initiated in art, making Madrid a meeting point for contemporary art, with a fair that seeks both commercial and artistic success. Two independent curators, Eva González Sancho and Juan de Nieves, are directing the fair in its second year.
As part of the programme, the fair is organising the Punto de Encuentro (Meeting Point) activity on Friday 19 and Saturday 20 September 2014, featuring four round tables that provide a renewed space for communication between artists, collectors, curators and professionals from museums, foundations and institutions. This space is designed as a framework for identifying and encouraging all those experiences that endow artistic practice and contemporary collecting with content, as well as for giving a say to the professionals who act as intermediaries and communicators of such experiences.
AC/E is collaborating with Summa by supporting the participation of the following international curators in the meetings: Octavio Zaya, Marina Fokidis, Fionn Meade, Omar López, Koyo Kouoh, Bo Hanley and Lorenzo Benedetti.
