Carmen Argote joins a long list of artists who have created a limited edition in support of LACE. In this new edition titled BLOAT, Argote explores notions of time, repetition, and language through mixed media, with food as a main mark-making tool. Join LACE in the unveiling of Argote’s limited edition print and a conversation between Carmen Argote and LACE Chief Curator and Director of Programming Daniela Lieja Quintanar, followed by a Q&A with guests. LACE Edition BLOAT was guided by Eric Gero Editions.

Centering on the process of developing LACE edition BLOAT, Argote and Lieja Quintanar will discuss concepts of digestion, mark-making, the haptic, transferring, drawing as impulse and walking as an art practice. After revealing the LACE Edition, questions will be open to the public.

“I started to work with the Rxbar/protein bars to create oil transfers that would seep the nut oils onto the paper’s surface. I would then trace these oil marks with a crayon, to reveal a sort of inherent language. I used rxbars/protein bars because of the branding structure around them and their positioning as a health food. I placed the bars from right to left onto the paper’s surface, giving them the spacing of text. The oil transfer marks looked like a written language, trying to communicate through the slow seepage of oil and the accumulation of time.” - Carmen Argote
