Bio
Carmen Argote (b. 1981, Guadalajara, Mexico; lives and works in Los Angeles, CA, USA) Argote's installations—including her Searching For The Willow Pattern series and Comforting Object—investigate inherited histories through domestic material and architectural form. Her work draws connections between personal memory and the cultural migration of objects and motifs, particularly those marked by colonial trade. Argote’s work has been in several recent exhibitions, including Flow States– LA TRIENAL 2024, El Museo del Barrio, New York (2024); Holding, Commonwealth and Council, Los Angeles, CA (2024); Experimentations: The Art of Controlled Procedures, Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, CA (2024); I won’t abandon you, I see you, we are safe, Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, CA (2023); and La Vida Secreta de las piedras, Commonwealth and Council, Mexico City, Mexico (2023).
