New York | Celebration of Victor “Marka27” Quiñonez’s “Elevar La Cultura NYC” at The Shed

Frieze Connect members are invited to celebrate Victor “Marka27” Quiñonez and his new commission Elevar La Cultura NYC, featured in Open Call: Portals, an exhibition exploring themes of passage, transformation, and resistance on view at The Shed.

We will gather in the lobby of The Shed for a brief introduction by Deja Belardo, Associate Curator at The Shed, followed by a viewing of Victor “Marka27” Quiñonez’s installation on the outdoor plaza. Afterwards, guests are invited to explore the full Open Call exhibition in the Level 2 Gallery and a celebratory toast inside Cedric’s.

Victor “Marka27” Quiñonez is a Mexican-born, Brooklyn-based artist whose bold “Neo Indigenous” aesthetic merges street culture with ancestral tradition. With roots in graffiti and street art, his work spans large-scale murals, fine art, design, sculpture, and installations—each piece a vivid reflection of cultural pride, social justice, and community empowerment. Internationally recognized for his dynamic visual language, Marka27 has exhibited globally and collaborated with major brands while creating landmark public art in cities across the United States. He is a Frieze Los Angeles Impact Prize winner and a Right of Return and Art for Justice Fellow, using his platform to amplify narratives around immigration, incarceration, and identity. Through his art, Marka27 invites viewers into a vibrant space where heritage and urban expression powerfully coexist.
