ANTONIA WRIGHT & RUBEN MILLARES
Lowe Art Museum
What goes up must come down
A site-specific installation, What goes up must come down is an artwork by collaborators and Cuban American artists Antonia Wright and Ruben Millares. With a creative partnership spanning over a decade, the duo works in various media, including performance, sculpture, sound, and light. Commissioned by the Lowe, this sculpture uses familiar barricades to signify global resistance, and to champion people’s right to peacefully protest. LED lights further enhance the structural complexity that prompts viewers to regard functional objects of control through a newly critical lens. Such narrative disruption speaks to a persistent interest of the artists, whose ongoing series explores the formal qualities and symbolic potency of everyday objects.
