Iván Argote – A Place for us

In A Place For Us, Iván Argote deploys a series of tactics — disappearance, eroticization, natural decay, and fiction — in order to theorize a new future for historical monuments. The centerpiece of this exhibition is Argote’s immersive installation, Wild Flowers, which includes planters made from disembodied fragments of Wall Street’s iconic George Washington monument. Scattered across the third floor of the gallery, Washington’s torso, hands, and feet are hollowed out and reimagined to contain regional plants and flowers, as modes of replenishment and regeneration.
