“Carmen Argote: I won’t abandon you, I see you, we are safe,' the artist's show at ICA LA, ruminates on the connective tissue between generations.
In her 2018 book “Mothers: An Essay on Love and Cruelty,” Jacqueline Rose describes the process of bonding with her adopted daughter as “going through an inverse pregnancy, moving backwards in time, letting her in. Or rather, it felt, her claiming her place as she crawled inside my body and into my blood-stream.”is at the top of a stack of books selected and rope-bound by art historian Mary McGuire, one of five collaborators in artistat the Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles downtown.
“Making the work is so relational, and a little uncomfortable, because I’m usually working on my own,” she says. “Tending to the show also means having conversations with people, making work here, inhabiting, sharing the notes on the wall as part of the progress,” Argote says. In addition to the jute garments Vargas wove to clothe Argote in for the performance, the show also includes a more straightforward painting, “Pain Body,” made in what Argote calls “ancestral” oil paint.
