- The Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago presents the first retrospective of the work of renowned sculptor Doris Salcedo (Colombian, b. 1958). In conjunction with the exhibition, the MCA produced a short film documenting Salcedo’s site-specific and ephemeral installations-works that either no longer exist or are otherwise impossible to display in the galleries of the museum-in order to establish their importance and contribution to her larger body of works.
Salcedo grounds her art in rigorous fieldwork, which involves extensive interviews with people who have experienced loss and trauma in their everyday lives due to political violence. Rather than making literal representations of violence or trauma, however, Salcedo’s artworks convey a sense of an absent, missing body and evoke a collective sense of loss. The resulting pieces engage with multiple dualities at once-strength and fragility, the ephemeral and the enduring-and bear elements of healing and reparation in the careful, laborious process of their making.
Doris Salcedo is cocurated by Pritzker Director Madeleine Grynsztejn and Curator Julie Rodrigues Widholm, with assistance from Curatorial Assistant Steven L. Bridges, and will be on view at the MCA from February 21-May 24, 2015. The exhibition travels to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, June 26-October 14, 2015, and the Perez Art Museum Miami, May 6-October 23, 2016.

Bruh! she looks like an old shakira
I love Doris Salcedo's work. She pushes the boundaries for important issues. The candles that she did was amazing. And it stood for something important. Lost lives.
Que capacidad de sentir, entender, y re comunicar el dolor de sus semejantes. Bravo!
Wow!

Una artista colombiana que se interesa por conservar su fama en Estados Unidos y no habla en español, es cuestionable.
Kike Mesa yo creo que es más bien cuestionable por otras razones, como ya traficar con la memoria de las víctimas del conflicto y ser una mujer oportunista. No espera mucho en el acontecimiento del referendo de 2016 sobre la solución del conflicto con las Farc para hacerse cobrar protagonismo y aparecer en la agenda de los medios. Pero si no lo hubiese hecho... y si mejor lo hubiese hecho antes... La mujer es además de impresionante con la factura de sus obras, supertalentosa para lanzar sus intervenciones en tiempos de vorágine.
Totalmente de acuerdo, igual ya tomo protagonismo con el desarme de las FARC, y la obra misma, de nombre "fragmentos" fabricada con las armas de dicho grupo, que ha denominado un "contramonumento".
Salcedo is a poignant and important voice in global art and consciousness.
The work of Doris Salcedo is both thought provoking and heart rendering. I live in a violent country, South Africa, and I can therefore relate to to her work. An average of 47 people are murdered each day!!
