About the Fair

Pequod Co. is proud to return to Art Basel Miami for its fourth participation, now presenting a three-artist show in the NOVA sector for the first time.

Pequod Co.'s proposal brings together the work of Javier Barrios, Elsa-Louise Manceaux, and Leo Marz who are represented by the gallery. The project is articulated under their visual explorations of sexuality at a time of innumerable crises and transitions that range from the cultural to the affective. On the horizon of a possible end (environmental collapse, reorganization of social structures, profound technological changes), images and visions emerge in the work of Barrios, Manceaux, and Marz that take place between eros-thanatos, pleasure and apocalypse, sex and self-destruction.

Andrea Valencia

The booth, titled “Sexuality in the Chimera of the End,” will be at the Miami Convention Center from Wednesday, December 4th to Sunday, December 8th. Private days are Wednesday and Thursday; public days are Friday onwards. For more information about Art Basel Miami Beach, please visit https://www.artbasel.com/miami-beach/at-the-show.
