audemars piguet contemporary aspen art museum adrian villar rojas 1234745580

Audemars Piguet Contemporary (APC) and the Aspen Art Museum have co-commissioned a new sculpture by Argentinian artist Adrián Villar Rojas, titled (Untitled) The Language of the Enemy. The work will debut in November in the Jura Mountains, near APC's hometown in the Vallée de Joux, before traveling to the Aspen Art Museum for a multi-floor exhibition in 2026. The sculpture draws a parallel between paleontology and speculative memory, imagining that an encounter with fossilized dinosaur remains might have sparked the earliest act of art-making. APC curator Audrey Teichmann emphasized the organization's role in supporting the artist through inception, research, fabrication, and project management, as well as providing continuous support for a second exhibition and storage of the work between shows.
