The Lewis Center for the Arts at Princeton University presents “Site,” an exhibition of new work by 2025-26 Hodder Fellow Carlos Agredano that places the history of 20th-century Superfund sites in conversation with Minimalist and Land Art of the 1960s and ’70s. The exhibition is on view in the Hurley Gallery at the Lewis Arts complex Nov. 10 through Jan. 16, with an opening reception Nov. 10 at 4:30 p.m.  

Site follows the history of the chemical industry in 20th-century New Jersey, whose factories supplied pesticides, plastics and munitions to American border enforcement and the United States military. Networks of industrial firms ran from Perth Amboy and Princeton in New Jersey; Los Alamos in New Mexico; Bien Hoa in Vietnam; to Basrah in Iraq, and their inventions left behind a toxic legacy both at home and abroad. Though it is the fifth smallest state in the country, New Jersey holds more of these contaminated sites than any other state in the United States. 

Agredano’s most recent exhibitions include “Exhibition House” at Frankfurt Odorica Gallery in Los Angeles and “Car Show” at Bel Ami Gallery, both in Los Angeles in 2026; “Por El Rio,” organized by Clockshop at the Los Angeles State Historic Park in 2024; and “Scupper” at François Ghebaly Gallery in Los Angeles in 2024. He received his A.B. in history and literature from Harvard University and his M.F.A. in sculpture from the UCLA School of Art.

The free exhibition is open to the public most days, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The gallery is an accessible venue.
