"Low Cal" announces itself through an unexpected material logic: protein bars pressed directly onto paper, their oils bleeding outward in slow, organic halos that Argote traces in brown crayon, a color and wax content uncannily close to the bars themselves. The resulting marks resemble text without resolving into legibility, rows of compressed rectangles arranged like sentences on a page, a language generated not by intent but by contact and time. The oil continues its migration past the crayon's outline, indifferent to the boundary drawn around it, and this refusal to stay contained is central to what the work says about the systems it examines. Argote's method here grows directly from her attraction to RXBars as consumer objects, products whose packaging foregrounds ingredient transparency as a form of branding, promising a clean, rationally managed relationship between body and food. The artist bought into that promise, and it is precisely that personal implication that gives the work its critical charge. By treating the bars as printing instruments, she makes visible what consumption normally obscures: the oil within the food, the mark left behind, the way desire for health and the structure of capitalism are wound together in a single purchase. The brown crayon trace becomes a kind of autobiographical line, drawn around something she had already internalized. Measuring 44.5 by 34.3 centimeters and worked in protein bar oil and crayon on paper, "Low Cal" was made in Los Angeles in 2020 and is offered through the Critical Resistance Benefit Auction. The work ships from Los Angeles, with shipping and handling costs the responsibility of the winning bidder. Framing is not included.
