About Latitudes:   Founded in 2005 by Max Andrews and Mariana Cánepa Luna, Latitudes is an independent curatorial office based in Barcelona, Spain, that works internationally within the field of contemporary art. Informed by an initial focus on ecology, Latitudes is especially interested in site, process and context. Latitudes has developed self-generated research-based projects in parallel with those produced at the invitation of museums, galleries and foundations, publishers, festivals and academic contexts. Exhibitions have formed an important but irregular part of Latitudes's practice. Other projects have deliberately taken a transdisciplinary approach to visibility and publicness while maintaining a broader bandwidth of working and thinking with art and artists. 

Latitudes is currently curating a group exhibition titled 4.543 billion. The Matter of Matter opening in June 2017 at CAPC musée d’art contemporain de Bordeaux, France.
