/> Description / Iván Argote and Floating Museum, DIGNIDAD, 2026, wood, cement, fiber mesh, pigment, flatbed truckDIGNIDAD was developed by Floating Museum in collaboration with artist Iván Argote and curator Carla Acevedo-Yates. As the fourth installment in the Floating Monuments series, the project continues an exploration of how monuments can function beyond fixed, commemorative objects—reimagining them as forms that move through the city, pointing to erased or suppressed histories, and engaging public life in real time. Composed of concrete letters spelling the word “DIGNIDAD,” the work exists simultaneously as sculpture, language, and social proposition. Mounted on a flatbed truck, it moves through the city as both object and message, a monument that does not stay still long enough to become invisible. The project launches in Humboldt Park, a neighborhood with deep cultural and historical&nbsp; significance for Chicago’s Puerto Rican community, and emerges from a multi-year dialogue and creative process. The community stabilized in its current location after persevering through a 1950s urban renewal campaign that displaced over 900 families from their homes in “La Clark” on Chicago’s north side. Broader political struggles—including oppressive laws like La Ley de la Mordaza, which prohibited the display of the Puerto Rican flag, even within one’s own home, also shape the historical context surrounding the project. Shaped by histories of resistance, resilience, and transcultural solidarity, the work responds to conditions that continue to affect migrant and Latine communities. Beginning as a participant in the Puerto Rican People's Day Parade before traveling to additional sites across the city, the sculpture carries these histories and conversations through visibility and collective encounter. The word “dignidad” functions as both language and form. Its use of Spanish is intentional, reflecting the presence of communities whose language, labor, and culture continue to shape the city. In this sense, the work approaches concrete poetry: meaning carried not only through language, but through form, scale, material, and movement. Here, the word itself becomes material—moving through public space as something physical and shared. DIGNIDAD brings together Argote’s longstanding engagement with public space and Floating Museum’s ongoing exploration of the monument as a mobile and participatory form. Developed collaboratively with Carla Acevedo-Yates through the Floating Monuments series, the project extends these shared interests through sculpture and collective participation—creating a monument that remains visible through circulation, and public life.

Through sculpture, installation, film, performance, and public interventions, he examines how individuals relate to one another and to institutions, often questioning established historical narratives and the symbols that sustain them. His practice is grounded in strategies of tenderness, affect, and humor, which he uses to destabilize authority and propose alternative ways of understanding history and belonging. A central element of Iván Argote’s practice is his engagement with monuments and large-scale public installations. By reinterpreting these traditional symbols of power, he proposes alternative meanings and symbolic uses, prompting viewers to question the ideological structures embedded in public spaces. His works generate moments of reflection, disruption, and emotional resonance, fostering more inclusive and decentralized narratives. Among his notable public projects is Dinosaur on the High Line in New York, presented from October 2024 to Spring 2026. Argote’s work is held in prominent collections worldwide, including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Centre Pompidou, ASU Art Museum, Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation, Banco de la República Art Collection in Bogotá, Kadist in San Francisco, and the MACBA. Through this diverse body of work, Iván Argote continues to challenge dominant perspectives and expand the role of art as a space for critical reflection and social transformation. ︎ivanargote.com Curator / <img src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9f0c22fe1c79d649acc0f954c97e0311d96b9967f53da477c723dc6da91dc2ad/Carla-Acevedo-Yates-Headshot.jpg" width="200" style="Float: left; padding-top:25px; padding-right:15px">Carla Acevedo-Yates is a curator, writer, and researcher based in Chicago.

A ghostly, inflatable architecture, this monument moves to sites across Chicago and beyond, serving as a dynamic platform for memory, conversation, exhibition, performance, and education. Its design honors the Mecca Flats apartment building—once a vibrant center of Black life in Chicago’s Bronzeville—and conjures traces of the neighborhood’s historic architecture. Though the Mecca Flats building was demolished in 1952 in the name of urban renewal, its legacy lives on through art, music, and memory. Rather than replicating the original structure, for Mecca is an amalgam of photographs, writings, and sound recordings that collapse Bronzeville’s rich cultural history into the present. It invites reflection on the demolition of Mecca Flats and its replacement by S.R. Crown Hall—an act emblematic of broader patterns of displacement across Chicago and cities throughout the United States. By surfacing these histories, for Mecca fosters dialogue, reconciliation, and a call to deeper inquiry. It acknowledges how racism and capitalism have accelerated the destabilization and erasure of significant Black cultural spaces. Drifting, collapsing, and reappearing, for Mecca challenges traditional monuments and prompts us to ask: How do we remember? Who are monuments built for? And how can resilience be cultivated through art, storytelling, and collective care in an ever-shifting city and world?

consider cities as a continuous process rather than an enduring object. “This,” is a pronoun, adjective, and adverb; it points elsewhere. It refers to the myriad forms of art and design that evolve and emanate from the perpetual churn of the city: architectures, infrastructures, landscapes, monuments, technologies, criticisms, poetic forms, performances, spaces, theories, histories, and social organizations. In parallel, the word “rehearsal” offers an alternative to a manifesto. Rather than declare one particular aim, rehearsal is an open-ended framework that is intentionally designed to allow for uncertainty, progress, failure, and redemption. Rehearsals, like cities, coordinate a range of people coming together from different contexts, cultures, and lived experiences to produce environments in fulfillment of a range of perspectives. In this sense, rehearsals are structures of constant coordination and re-negotiation. “This” also refers to CAB itself. A biennial is a form that organizes other forms. We do not see it as a stranger or outsider; we see it as an integral function of the city. It is in itself a process of production. Biennials are informed by the city and offer a range of potential forms to the city. While CAB is expressed as a range of exhibitions, installations, performances, and spectacles, we see This is a Rehearsal as a feedback loop and timing device. A biennial is not merely a conversation about cities, but a conversation of, and with, the city. It is also a reflection on a range of cities, as they are, as they were, and as they could be.

2022,&nbsp;polyester blend fabric, dye sublimation, air blowers, hardware, 30’x22’x12’ Floating Monuments: The Garden with Kushala Vora places the monument–an already complex, hybrid, and enigmatic object–at the center as a catalyst for conversation, scenographic intervention, and a performance platform. The project includes a new inflatable sculpture exhibit in Floating Museum's Floating Monuments series. Docents engage the general public during the day and the sculpture and platform transform into a performance series at night. A curated series of sets will explore project themes of diaspora, improvisation, and create a space for musicians and performers. The project focuses on the role of plants as world makers. The ephemeral monument, platform and performance series serve as a catalyst for conversation about the movement of people and plants such as cotton, black pepper, poppy, rice and clove. The word, diaspora–'dia' meaning across and 'spora' meaning scatter–itself has botanical roots. Vasco Da Gama and Columbus sought out the Indian subcontinent for direct access to spices. This 'discovery’/exploitation of people and plants as 'resources' have continued to shape the way we see ourselves, each other and the landscape that we reside with. The monument aims to connect multiplicities through these routes of trade and passage. Profoundly linked to the empire, cultivation and trade, plant types have shaped and continue to shape wide-reaching systems. With an evident disruption of our global supply chains resulting from the pandemic, wars and climate change, how might we make different choices which would diminish neo-colonial tendencies? The project aims to use the metaphor of garden to conjure up these themes and associated questions, and the ways in which they have affected ecological change, colonialism, capitalism, and violence. Additionally, the piece aims to blur the lines between dialogic platform, sculpture, and performance to model a pluralistic approach to monumentality. If, like Rebecca Solnit writes in the 'Ruins of Memory' from 2007, the United States is a country that in many ways functions as a country without a past, an amnesiac landscape, a country filled with cities that are the eradication, even the ruin, of the landscape from which it rose, Floating Monuments: The Garden proposes a monumental remembering of specific plant's histories as a framework to contest contemporary globalism's speed, dislocation and endless churning. In recognizing the ways in which ‘free' trade, and monoculture of plants have shaped the diaspora's of the world while taking time to reflect on movement of plants and people, our project aims to build a conversational structure.

Description / The Art Institute’s lion statues are beloved by many as icons welcoming them to a place that feels like a second home, but to others they represent gatekeepers who silently exclude. For this exhibition, the four members of Chicago-based art collective Floating Museum took these statues as a jumping-off point to consider questions of access, inequality, and the totemic power of art objects. The project results from interconnected collaborations that took place during the first two years of the pandemic. Curators in Photography and Media invited Floating Museum to explore the department’s collections. In response, Floating Museum invited ten community organizers and cultural hosts in Chicago, as well as ten local photographers, to help create new works based on the collection. Hosts, photographers, Floating Museum, and the Art Institute curators learned more about one another in ten hour-long Zoom calls; excerpts play at the end of this show. In follow-up conversations, also conducted online, each host selected one of three photographs that Floating Museum offered from the museum’s collection (all of the images are on view in the next two galleries). The museum delivered reproductions of the selected works to the location each host designated as their home, after which the photographers produced new images in these settings, featuring the hosts and the works they selected. Finally, Floating Museum closed the circle by incorporating these commissioned pictures into the photo-sculptures on view in this gallery. This project formed the basis of a new collaborative, community-based network, with art as the medium of communication. It encourages us to consider the potential of the Art Institute’s holding to act as a collective resource for all Chicagoans.

Malmö Konstmuseum, Sustainable Societies for the Future: Chicago Edition includes work that engages with the following questions: How do we make societies more inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable with all of the challenges we are facing today regarding climate, social inequality and the world’s growing population? And how can we accumulate change through art that explores collectiveness and social engagement for a better future together? The second edition, which includes artists presented in the first exhibition in Sweden, is curated by Floating Museum and uses an LED truck as the exhibition platform and moves through the city over a period of three days. The exhibition presents a program that is mobile and investigates urban landscape, social geography and creates juxtapositions and complimentary moments between streetscape and the Nordic and American artist contributions. The mobile exhibition format builds on using the ‘space of flows’ to stake a curatorial position outside of a static brick and mortar presentation, imagining possibilities for mobility, geography and mapping networks. The gesture also exists in the continuum of artists examining their relationship to institutions, and responds symbiotically to the evolution of museums—ranging from the cabinet of curiosities or Wunderkrammer between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries, transitioning to the dense accumulations of time-capsule vitrines in nineteenth century museums, to the complete contrast of the contemporary art space, or as James Putman writes, “the modern art museum with its own, purist display aesthetic, a highly self conscious viewing space which proclaims the institutionalization of art.”[1] Shifting from the modern art museum and repurposing a format generally used for mobile advertisement, the LED exhibition program visited locations across Chicago ranging from major art institutions, community spaces, a vehicle emission testing site, and historical spaces across the south, west and northsides.

online exhibition program that will invite audiences to draw connections between the rich histories of Chicago’s neighborhoods, as well as our complex present moment. The exhibition will feature curated artworks, public performances, and free cultural activities created through collaborations between the diverse civic and cultural institutions, artists, and community stakeholders that make up our city. Critical Distance will place these entities in conversation with each other, embodying an aggregated expression of our city. It will also utilize the strengths of our collective-namely our expertise in curating high quality, outdoor, public art exhibitions-to bring safe and socially distant art and cultural programming to our city this Summer. Critical Distance consists of three primary program areas: Translator, Floating Monuments, and Breaking Bread. Each program will artistically feed the next, creating a collaborative and iterative exhibition design process. Artists will be offered stipends for each engagement. Translator is an ongoing performance series that focuses on the development of collaborative performances. For Critical Distance, we will invite performers from a range of backgrounds, including music, dance, and alternative performance, to respond to sites, art objects, poems, and more to collaboratively create a sequence of place-based performance. Watch the entire Translator series here / Breaking Bread involves a series of conversations between artists and cultural producers coming from a wide range of disciplines within and beyond Chicago. Conversations will address questions of disciplinarity, practice, politics, economics, and equity in representation that are pervasive across the globe but express themselves differently in relation to the contingencies of place and space. These programs will be recorded, broadcast via Instagram Live, and archived. Watch the entire Breaking Bread series here / Floating Monuments will present a series of inflatable monuments that highlight undertold narratives about the communities that make up our city’s history and present moment. We will develop these monuments through collaborations with artists, cultural institutions, archivists and collections items including artists Kushala Vora, and the South Asia Institute. The ephemeral monuments created through these collaborations will operate as hybrid enigmatic objects and exhibitions for conversation, scenographic intervention, and program platform. As we learned with Founders (2019), this model is rapidly deployed, easily installed and supported by docents (whether in-person or pre-recorded for engagement on mobile devices), and&nbsp; allow us to meet many of our artistic and collective goals: Engaging multiple, simultaneous audiences and sites in the South and West sides of Chicago. Broaden and deepen collaborations and related conversations around equity, representation, and access to economic, ecologic, cultural and infrastructural networks Directing resources to&nbsp; under-represented constituencies. Promoting individual artists, constituencies, organizations, institutions and municipal partnerships. Increasing the frequency of participatory events, building closer relations with and between constituencies through rehearsal and performance. In this time of social and physical distancing, engage our limitations around physically gathering as an object of inquiry and innovation.

2020, wood, paper, ink, adhesive, cement, hardware, framed photograph with Cecil McDonald Jr, dimensions variableFirst staged as an intervention and performance in public space in 2018, the installation Monument Reassembly invites participants to recreate an iconic moment in Chicago's history: the anti-war protests during the 1968 Democratic Convention. The artwork connects the discontent and protests of today with those of Chicago's past, demonstrating how all Chicagoans participate in the city’s history. The civic sector constantly grapples with redressing the decisions of yesterday while simultaneously creating new policies, programs, and choices that draft the history of tomorrow. The piece is inspired by Peter Bullock's iconic photo of protesters in 1968 in Grant Park at the Logan Monument in the Chicago History Museum's collection. https://floatingmuseum.org/Founders Wed, 14

polyester blend fabric, dye sublimation, air blowers, hardware, 25’x35’x34’ Founders is a mobile monument and collaboration between Floating Museum, Chris Pappan (Kanza/Osage,&nbsp;Lakota) and Monica Rickert-Bolter&nbsp;(Potawatomi/African-American/German). The inflatable sculpture features four busts facing the four cardinal directions. The form is a mix of interpretations of items from the collections of the DuSable Museum of African American History, the Field Museum of Natural History, as well as interpretations of various historical figures. The busts reference Jean Baptiste Pointe du Sable (Chicago’s first non-indigenous settler), Kitihawa (du Sable’s Potawatomi wife), Harold Washington (first African American Mayor of Chicago), and a bust of a young boy by artist William Artis. The pattern on the inflatable monument was inspired by Potawatomi textiles in the Field Museum collections. Founders pops up in community sites throughout Chicago as part of Floating Museum’s summer programming. The sculpture is part of a series by Floating Museum highlighting historical figures that elevate the stories of indigenous people and people of color, honoring the often-overlooked roles they’ve had in shaping our contemporary world. Floating Museum would like to give a special thanks to our exhibition committee who advised on the sculpture:&nbsp;Alaka Wali, Debra Yepa-Pappan, Kate Swisher, and Etzer Cantave.
