Ivan Argote. To Feel Your Weight
To Feel Your Weight is an invitation to take a break and engage in collective play and dialogue with other museum visitors. In his practice, Colombian artist Iván Argote (Bogotá, 1983) examines the dynamics of public space, looking to spark conversations. In this installation, he subtly modifies a simple action—sitting on a rocking chair—to foster an intimate and ludic encounter. The two chairs—named Birds for their plumage-inspired coloring—will only enter into a balancing motion when the sitters learn to acknowledge and share each other’s weight, reaching a delicate agreement.
