For the Positions sector of Art Basel’s Miami Beach show in 2017, Isla Flotante will exhibit an installation of 65 canvases by Mariela Scafati.

“What really attracts me from art is the powerful way it has to communicate between different kinds of people and different kinds of societies.” – Leopol Jose Maria Mones Cazon, Director of Isla Flotante

Friendship, cooperation, and platform: these are the three words Leopol Jose Maria Mones Cazon uses to describe his Buenos Aires-based gallery Isla Flotante. Founded in 2014, Isla Flotante represents eight young Argentinian artists, all of whom focus mainly on contemporary political issues in their work. As Cazon says, “We believe in politics as the most strong tool to make more equality and justice in our environment.”

Isla Flotante is located in the southern part of Buenos Aires in the La Boca neighborhood – an area named for its proximity to the mouth of the Riachuelo river – designated as an arts district by the city and loved by both tourists and locals.

For the Positions sector of Art Basel in Miami Beach, Isla Flotante will exhibit an installation of 65 canvases by Mariela Scafati.
