Dallas Contemporary's Fall 2026 Exhibition Opening Celebration
Saturday, October 3, 2026
7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
161 Glass St. Dallas
Free Admission
On Saturday, 3 October 2026 from 7.00 - 9.00 PM, join us for the celebration of our fall exhibition Iván Argote: How to Move a Monument on a Tuesday Morning, a major solo exhibition by internationally acclaimed artist Iván Argote.
Members and VIP’s are invited to join us one hour early at 6.00 for an exclusive preview.
How to Move a Monument on a Tuesday Morning brings together sculpture, painting, and moving image to examine the ways monuments shape collective memory, public space, and systems of power. Across newly commissioned works and recent bodies of work, Argote considers how historical narratives are constructed, contested, and transformed over time.
Central to the show is Levitate, a three-channel video installation that revisits the removal of colonial-era monuments in Rome, Madrid, and Paris. Through these scenes, Argote reflects on migration, identity, and the ways historical symbols are questioned and transformed over time.
Thanks to the support of the Eugene McDermott Foundation, Dallas Contemporary will continue to offer free admission through 2026. Dallas Contemporary is also supported in part by the City of Dallas Office of Arts and Culture.
