| Description |
Sculpture by Michael Arcega, Conquistadorkes I & II (Manila file folders and acrylic hardware, 72" x 20" x 10" each, 2005). The image illustrates a key early body of work in Michael Arcega's career in the 2000s, when he produced unconventional, humorous sculptural and installation works critiquing colonialism and American politics and culture. This work presents two ornate, life-size suits of armor constructed from manila folders that deflated the grandiosity of conventional museum displays that glorified war, privilege and conquest. These works were publicly exhibited in prominent venues and discussed in major art journals and daily press publications. |

| Purpose of use |
The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key early body of work in Michael Arcega's career in the 2000s: his unconventional sculptural and installation works offering tongue-in-cheek critiques of colonialism and American politics and culture. These works fused accessible materials, meticulous craftsmanship, politically barbed punning and conceptual rigor, balancing light-hearted play with serious critique. They were informed by history, research, geography and Arcega's personal, insider-outsider sensibility as a naturalized Filipino- American, and frequently linked historical eras and disparate geographies in order to address the present via the past. Because the article is about an artist and his work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to understand this foundational stage and body of work, which brought Arcega early recognition through exhibitions in major venues and coverage by major critics and publications. Arcega's work of this type and this series is discussed in the article and by critics cited in the article. |
