December 5–7, the fair’s Meridians sector continues to push conceptual boundaries, showcasing 49 galleries exploring the intersections of materiality, history, and ecology. Curated by Yasmil Raymond, the theme The Shape of Time examines how art embodies, distorts, and suspends the flow of time across cultures and generations.

– Canada (NY): Marc Hundley’s graphic T-shirts channel queer history, literature, and everyday memory.
– Milan/NY: Wifredo Lam’s mid-century paintings blending Afro-Cuban spirituality with Surrealism.
– Galerie RGR: Jesús Rafael Soto’s immersive Penetrable (1992) dissolves boundaries between body and space.
– Freight+Volume (NY): Ward Shelley’s The Last Library IV questions truth and misinformation with a contested library installation.
– Buenos Aires: Silvia Rivas’s Buzzing (2009), a mural-scale video blending humor and existential reflection.
– Mexico City (RGR): Soto’s kinetic Pénétrable transforms perception as vibration.
– NY/Dubai: Kevork Mourad’s Memory Gates (2021), a labyrinth of layered memories.
– San Francisco: Stephanie Syjuco’s Politics of Representation in photography.
