LUIZA TEIXEIRA DE FREITAS 

ARCOlisboa turns the spotlight on new galleries which, either because of their short trajectory or because they are new on the Portuguese scene, present interesting proposals and enable the discovery of other creators. Through the Opening Lisboa section, co-curated by Luiza Teixeira de Freitas and Chus Martínez, the fair provided a space to explore 11 galleries including Double V, Fran Reus, Lehmann + Silva, Silvestre, Verve, o ATM and Intersticio.

SP-Arte 2017 invited Luiza Teixeira de Freitas to curate the 'Solo' sector on the Oscar Niemeyer-designed Bienal pavilion's ground floor which housed 16 galleries dedicated to one artist each.

Marker is Art Dubai’s curated programme of galleries and artspaces, which focuses each year on a particular theme or geography. This section aims to exemplify the fair’s role as a site of discovery and cross-cultural exchange, and is a feature of Art Dubai’s extensive not-for-profit programming. Curated by Luiza Teixeira de Freitas, Marker took – for the first time – a multidisciplinary approach, dwelling on its broad theme through honed, specific lines of enquiry. The programme, located within the Art Dubai Contemporary gallery halls, included artists’ books, sound projects, performance and film, as well as drawing, painting and installation. Teixeira de Freitas worked with artists and commercial and non-commercial organisations across the region to develop this dynamic programme.

The Solo Projects sector is dedicated to individual artist shows providing the public with an immersion in the production and trajectory of arising names. Once again, Luiza Teixeira de Freitas signed the project, which in 2018 brought together 16 projects of different generations and styles.
