ALCOVA MEXICO CITY / FEBRUARY 2027
/ VILLA REFORMA

From February 3 to 7, Alcova travels to Mexico City for Art Week 2027, marking its first-ever Latin American edition.

Among the three venues hosting this new chapter is Villa Reforma — a hidden gem of Mexican modernism.

Designed in the 1950s by Francisco Artigas, the house stands as one of the few remaining examples of his residential work outside El Pedregal, defined by its low, horizontal structure and L-shaped plan, where expansive glazing establishes a continuous dialogue between interior and landscape.

Applications for Alcova Mexico City 2027 are now open.

/ IT MUST HAVE BEEN A NIGHTMARE BY ANDREA FERRERO X FRENCH PLACE

Set within the outdoor spaces of the Baggio Military Hospital during Alcova Milano 2026, Andrea Ferrero x French Place presented “It Must Have Been a Nightmare.” Andrea Ferrero’s practice explores how architectures of power shape the way in which we imagine and move through the world, tracing mythologies of domination embedded in built space. With glimpses of mockery, irony, and mischief, Andrea translates her fantasies into immersive installations, edible banquets and play infrastructures that weave political history with myth, prophecy and personal memory, combining techniques that range from aluminum casting to ironwork and chocolate making.

/A MATTER OF MATTER BY FAP CERAMICHE

Set within the Baggio Military Hospital during Alcova Milano 2026, Fap Ceramiche presented “A Matter of Matter”, an immersive exploration of ceramics and their transformative potential. Sculpted forms, metallic glints, tactile surfaces, and luminous finishes interact with light and shadow, inviting visitors to touch, move, and discover shifting textures and depth. The installation reimagines ceramics as living architecture: shaping emotions, identities, and new spatial possibilities.

/BECOMING UNDER CONSTRAINT BY LAURA GIUDICE

Becoming Under Constraint brings together sculptural functional pieces in ceramics, glass, and metal. Forms emerge from the encounter between materials that resist, contain, or transform one another. Pressure, fracture, and corrosion leave visible traces on the surfaces.
Rather than concealing these marks, the work allows them to remain, shaping the final form. Each piece suggests a process of becoming: a material adapting, persisting, and finding its form within constraint.

/ Femetality By Fenna Kosfeld X Maruxi

Presented at Alcova Milano 2026, Femetality invites you into a world where playfulness is extracted from a material often perceived as rigid and unforgiving: metal. Mostly being a male dominated profession, MARUXI and FENNA bring out the sensitivity one is able to have with this material and the versatility it can bring. From drawing and extruding worlds out of the welding machine to the rawness of texture one is able to extract, Maru and Fenna invite you to the microscopic and interactive world that goes beyond your regular steel.
