About
MM Gallery is a space for the exhibition and commercialization of contemporary art located in the city of Buenos Aires and Berlin. More than ten years of experience and learning in other areas allowed us to take the impulse to start this project and contribute to the activation of contemporary art both in South America and Europe.
We created MM Gallery with the conviction that contemporary art is a dynamic platform for research and reflection, substantial and necessary practice to dislocate the usual senses of time and space in which we have to live. We represent a group of artists of diverse poetics who explore the personal and collective needs of their respective generations. As part of a way of seeing and understanding the world, their universes are an intense portion of the intersection between visual culture, history, nature, and the most immediate concerns of our present.
Our gallery takes care of the development of the artists on its staff, not only by accompanying their artistic universes but also by providing them with the necessary support in their commercial representation and offering them exhibition spaces at the Buenos Aires and Berlin headquarters in various international fairs.
We are aware of the broad framework of the artistic field at a global level. With this knowledge, we also promote dialogue and conversation among all its agents: artists, curators, collectors, and institutions.

MM Gallery is a contemporary art gallery. An exhibition and dissemination space for Latin American art that aims to accompany the development of its artists, providing them with the necessary support on their journey.
MM Gallery is a detachment from 488 gallery, an art gallery founded in 2010 that always promoted Latin American artists in different spaces and formats (gallery exhibitions, specific sites, participation in national and international fairs), promoting dialogue between all the actors from the art market (artists, curators, collectors and institutions).
Our staff artists coexist with young invited artists to combine very different practices with a conceptual rigor that is fundamental to contemporary art discourse.
