Doris Salcedo

May 26, 2022 - Jan 29, 2023
The Pavilions, Room 2

In Room 2 of the Pavilions, Glenstone presented a selection of sculptures by Colombian artist Doris Salcedo (b. 1958), the first monographic exhibition of her work in the Washington, DC area. Salcedo creates powerful and moving sculptures that reflect the myriad ways in which violence and oppression manifest in the modern world. She grounds her practice in research and firsthand interviews with survivors of political and domestic violence. Through a time-intensive and laborious process, the forms her sculptures achieve are poetic, compassionate translations of the words and experiences of those who have suffered harm. Among the works featured in this presentation was Disremembered X, 2020/2021, a sculpture in four parts commissioned by Glenstone which originated from interviews the artist conducted with American mothers who lost children to gun violence.
