Iv谩n Argote: Radical Tenderness
鈥淩adical Tenderness is an open conversation that starts with a question: how can we imagine a different public space? It is an invitation to unlearn inherited structures of power and representation, and to dream otherwise. To open ourselves 鈥� bravely and tenderly 鈥� and imagine new horizons. A place not built on hierarchy, but held in openness, in care and resistance. A space where we might meet one another differently, remember our diverse histories, and, together, shape with joy and criticality the contours of a future yet to come.鈥� 鈥撯仩鈦犫仩鈦犫仩鈦� Iv谩n Argote
Through his sculptures, installations, films, and interventions, Iv谩n Argote, a Colombian artist based in Paris, explores our relationships with others, power structures, and belief systems. He develops strategies rooted in tenderness, affection, and humour, creating critical perspectives on dominant historical narratives. His interventions on monuments and large-scale ephemeral and permanent public artworks propose new symbolic and political uses of public space.
