On this episode of Work in Progress: Conversations with Creators with host Logan Royce Beitmen, Otero-Pailos talks about casting the soot and dust of the British Parliament in monumental sheets of latex as part of his ongoing series, The Ethics of Dust, as well as the unforeseen meanings that work acquired when it was unveiled during the fateful Brexit vote of 2016. He also discusses his new painting show, Capitol Collective, about the U.S. Capitol Building, on view 25 September 2026–9 January 2027.
