Cameron Rowland, Out of sight, 2020, 19th-century slave iron, 19th-century slave iron with missing rattle.
Irons with rattles built into their handles, called slave irons, were designed to be used by the enslaved working inside the plantation house to iron the laundry of the masters. While out of sight, the rattle audibly signaled to the master that the slave was working continuously. Removing the rattle was a refusal of this oversight. Rental.

Press Release:
Galerie Buchholz Cologne presents a show of works by Louise Lawler, R.H. Quaytman, and Cameron Rowland, three artists who know each other well and have worked together in various ways. This exhibition marks the first time their work will be brought together in a constellation, juxtaposing examples of their ongoing artist practices. Prompted by invitation, the artists have made new work, selected older pieces, and planned the installation in conversation with each other.
