Agustina Ferreyra, a prominent Mexico City-based dealer known for championing young Latin American artists, has been appointed director of OMR, a leading gallery in Mexico City. Ferreyra founded her own gallery in San Juan, Puerto Rico in 2013 before relocating it to Mexico City, and will shutter that eponymous space on April 30. She previously collaborated with OMR during Mexico City Art Week in February through Bodega, a joint initiative that featured a solo exhibition by Argentine artist Ad Minoliti. In her new role, Ferreyra will continue to lead Bodega as artistic director.
This appointment signals a consolidation of talent among Mexico City's top-tier galleries and underscores the growing importance of the city's art scene. Ferreyra's move from running her own gallery to joining an established institution reflects a broader trend of dealers seeking new structures to sustain their curatorial vision. Her continued leadership of Bodega as a space for experimentation also highlights how galleries are using off-site projects to engage with emerging artists and audiences.
