White Cube New York presents a major new installation by Doris Salcedo, marking over 10 years since her celebrated US retrospective which opened in 2015 at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago and travelled to the Guggenheim Museum, New York and Perez Art Museum, Miami.
Made in the artist’s studio in Bogotá in Colombia over the last three years, this monumental new work is related to Salcedo’s acclaimed installation Uprooted (2020-22), which she debuted at the 2023 Sharjah Biennial. Describing her work as ‘a topology of mourning’, Salcedo is best known for intricate installations and sculptural works which draw on Colombia’s violent political history, as well as responding to wider global concerns.

Doris Salcedo makes sculptures and installations that function as political and mental archaeology, using domestic materials charged with significance and suffused with meanings accumulated over years of use in everyday life. Salcedo often takes specific historical events as her point of departure, conveying burdens and conflicts with precise and economical means.




An international art powerhouse, White Cube was established in 1993 in London by art dealer Jay Jopling. In its space on Duke Street, it served as the early exhibition venue for many now internationally acclaimed British artists, including Tracey Emin, Gilbert & George, Rachel Kneebone and Antony Gormley, who still show with the gallery today.
