Summary

Jorge Otero-Pailos (Spain 1971) is an artist, architect and preservationist based in New York. From his formal education in architecture, he creates works of art that address themes of memory, history and transition, inviting the viewer to see monuments as powerful agents that allow understanding, questioning and connecting with culture. Otero-Pailos uses the material residues of modernity - atmospheric dust, waterways, sweat traces and body sounds, maps or even security bars - to make their invisible meanings visible. The Ethics of Dust is a site-specific series of artworks where Otero-Pailos transfers the pollution on monuments onto latex casts in an ongoing investigation of more than a decade. The title of the series indicates a dialogue with John Ruskin, one of the founders of preservation. Each work in the series is distinguished by the subtitle, which takes the name of the monuments such as the The Ducal Palace in Venice; Westminster Hall in London; the U.S. Mint in San Francisco; and Trajan's Column at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.
