---

Iván Argote (b. Bogotá, Columbia) is based in Paris. His work probes the role of subjectivity within historical, economic, political and moral realms. Through subversive methods and with a distinctly sensual treatment, the artist creates interventions for public space, often further developed into videos, photos and sculptures. The symbol of the public monument reappears as a target to interrogating dominant mechanisms of power and authority. Argote explores the city as a space of transformation and potentiality.

His work has been shown widely, including recent solo exhibitions at Galeria ADN, Barcelona (2015); DT Project, Brussels; Galeria Vermelho, Sao Paulo and Galerie Perrotin, Paris in 2014; Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2013); CA2M, Madrid (2012), among others.
