Magical Mexico City. A city of poetry, revolution, and art. Centuries of history, spectacular colonial architecture, intimate courtyards, extravagance, cuisine, and culture, Mexico City is a global city that has it all. In the last several years, it has increasingly become an art world destination, renowned for its up-and-coming gallery scene, prominent art collections and museums, and acclaimed art fairs ZONA MACO and Material Art Fair. Here are the must-see fairs, galleries, museums, and other attractions for a week in the Mexican capital.

Presented by Friends of the High Line, High Line Art is pleased to announce the High Line Plinth, a new landmark destination for major public art commissions in New York City located on the High Line at West 30th Street and 10th Avenue. Designed as the focal point of the Spur, the newest section of the High Line, the High Line Plinth designates the first space on the High Line dedicated specifically to art, featuring a rotating program of new commissions.

London has its Fourth Plinth, where contemporary artists have graced — and sometimes goaded — viewers in Trafalgar Square with sculptural work on a bare pedestal originally intended for an equestrian statue of William IV. Now New York will have its own plinth, a highly visible permanent stage for ambitious new international sculpture commissions, perched above 30th Street and 10th Avenue on one of the final sections of the High Line.

When art cracks through the surface of TV, it's usually not art itself. Look more closely and the stories and pictures are actually about wealth, glamor, brattiness, deception. Art TV is usually hate TV. Go Trumperica!

Minerva Cuevas was born in Mexico City in 1975. A conceptual and socially-engaged artist, she creates sculptural installations and paintings in response to politically-charged events, such as the tension between world starvation and capitalistic excess.
