About
Exhibition
Eddie Rodolfo Aparicio premieres Invernadero herido (para Huerta) [Wounded greenhouse (for Huerta)], his first outdoor installation on the East Coast commissioned by Art Omi. The work is centered around the Wardian case, a nineteenth-century device of colonial extraction used to transport living plants from Central and South America to collectors in Europe and the United States. The glass enclosure points to entanglements between human and nonhuman histories and lives.
About the work
Aparicio examines colonial histories of materials linked to pre-Hispanic cultures in Central America, particularly his family's homeland of El Salvador. The project traces cultural and technological knowledge embedded in historical uses of rubber, amber, and tree bark, with focus on materials with medicinal properties that are mined by corporations today. The work continues his exploration of migration, modes of survival, and connections between El Salvador and the United States.
