Carmen Argote's 'Soft Perimeter' Opens at Silverlens New York
Silverlens New York presents 'Carmen Argote: Soft Perimeter,' the artist's first solo gallery show in New York. The exhibition features sculptural works that map domestic interiors, including the title piece 'Soft perimeter of home' (2026), which references the hybrid home and studio Argote shares with her mother and chickens. The show revisits concerns from her 2010 debut, '720 Sq. Feet: Household Mutations,' where she exhibited a 720-square-foot carpet from her childhood home, painted white with a chestnut border, allowing stains to bleed through like memories.
