Eduardo Villanueva’s art investigates objects and imagery from the visual world that are infused with nationalistic, political, religious, or social significance. For example, Villanueva’s installation for the Wisconsin Triennial addresses the symbolism of the triumphal arch. Specifically, Ilex Ita Sanctus plays with notions of sacred and profane space: “By activating a space that is usually overlooked in the gallery setting I can first bring attention to the space itself and secondly cause the viewer to reflect upon the act of entering a space.”
