Miami Art Central [MAC]
In 2003, Ms. Fontanals Cisneros established the Miami Art Central (MAC), which significantly enriched Miami's cultural landscape by introducing major international art exhibitions. These exhibitions included video art from the prestigious Centre Pompidou and Reina Sofia, as well as a solo exhibition of the renowned South African artist William Kentridge.
In 2012, Ms. Fontanals-Cisneros took a further step in disseminating the richness of Latin American art by publishing her first book, "Pulses of Abstraction in Latin America." This publication offers a comprehensive analysis of one of the most dynamic and essential movements within Latin American art, showcasing selections from her personal collection. Over the past two decades, Ms. Cisneros has contributed several significant publications focusing on her exhibitions and the breadth of her collection.
Highlighting the foundation's dedication to promoting Latin American art, in 2017, the Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation (CIFO) released two pivotal publications. These works document the foundation's first fifteen years of continuous effort in the art world and include a special publication on the "Adios Utopia (Goodbye Utopia)" exhibition. This particular exhibition, which explores Cuban Art from the 1950s to 2014, exemplifies the foundation's commitment to Latin American art, having traveled from the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston to The Walker Art Center, further establishing CIFO's influence in the international art community.
