Once a month, Tinworks will activate Gabriel Chaile’s newly commissioned oven sculpture, No puedo evitar la forma en que siento (I can’t help the way I feel), 2025, with a community bread-baking event, led by Chef Alex Hrabovsky, using flour harvested from Agnes Denes’ 2024 ecological artwork Wheatfield—An Inspiration. The seed is in the ground. Please join us for these special events of community engagement, actions that are central to both Chaile and Denes’ artistic practices.

Argentinian artist Gabriel Chaile is known for his monumental adobe sculptures that draw on Indigenous ceramic traditions, religious iconography, and family ancestry.
