The above image shows Manglano-Ovalle’s sculpture, entitled “Seven Thousand Cords (after Beuys), 2014 – ongoing” exhibited in the north lawn of the Farnsworth House, Plano, IL. The piece incorporates wood from the Farnsworth House property.

The installation at Farnsworth House was part of “Architecture + Art: Inspiration Amplified”; a collaboration between the National Trust for Historic Preservation and United States Artists to create a public program for the Chicago Architecture Biennial. The program is the presentation of works by two United States Artists Fellows that have been inspired by the Farnsworth House and its landscape. The two artists are Mary Ellen Childs, a musical composer based in Minneapolis, Minnesota; and Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle, a sculptor based in Evanston, Illinois.
