Guillermo Santamarina is renowned for his interdisciplinary approach and his ability to foster critical dialogue around contemporary art. His work is characterised by a deep interest in experimentation and in challenging traditional exhibition formats. He has led key institutions and programmes, playing a pivotal role in the professionalisation of curatorship in Mexico. He is associated with the direction and curation of venues such as the Carrillo Gil Art Museum and the El Eco Experimental Museum, where he promoted projects that fostered interaction between art, public space and theory.

His ongoing work as a mentor and advisor to young artists and curators has established him as a leading figure within the Mexican art world.

His legacy lies in having constantly questioned the role of the curator in relation to the artwork and the public, shifting from the figure of the ‘organiser’ to that of a facilitator of critical and reflective experiences.
