Iván Argote sculpted the phrase Let’s Write a History of Hopes on the gallery´s façade. The phrase also served as the title for the Colombian artist´s first solo exhibition in Brazil. It was a suggestive opening combining several of the ideas that permeated the show. Unlike previous projects presented on this 8 x 15m canvas which contains concepts and ideas from inumeros projects by other artists, Let’s Write a History of Hopes does the opposite of writing by subtracting layers from the façade to reveal the phrase laying bare vestiges of previous projects.
