Carmen Argote (b. 1981, Guadalajara; lives and works in Los Angeles)
Carmen Argote’s multimedia practice uses psychoanalysis and psychic healing as a guiding principle to create works that address her desire for protection and comfort. Argote uses drawing and collage in combination with more sculptural elements to investigate her notion of the multiple selves hidden within. Her work asks the viewer to negotiate internal questions of vulnerability. The artist invokes the contemplative and the spiritual, marking moments both metaphorical and speculative.
Argote was included in the recent exhibition Shadow Tracers at the Aspen Art Museum in 2023.
Her work has been included in exhibitions at the Hammer Museum, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Denver Art Museum, Orange County Museum of Art and the National Museum of Mexican Art. She was a recipient of the Artadia Award in 2019, the Rema Hort Mann Foundation YoYoYo Grant in 2015, and a California Community Foundation Emerging Artist Grant in 2013. In 2016, the LA Weekly named Argote their "Best Up and Coming Artist".
Carmen Argote received an MFA from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2007 and a BFA in 2004.
Solo exhibitions have been held at Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (2023); Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego (2022); Primary, Nottingham (2021); Clockshop, Los Angeles (2020); Commonwealth and Council, Los Angeles (2020, 2018); New Museum, New York (2019); and PAOS, Guadalajara (2019).
