Art History MAPH student Esme Graham's review of "Iñigo Manglano Ovalle: A Want for Nothing” has been published in the *Whitehot Magazine of Contemporary Art*, December 2025 issue:

Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle relegates a typical vinyl exhibition text to a side wall and instead paints the title on two panels of burnt American ash that lean in the entrance*.*In *A Want for Nothing* at the DePaul Art Museum, the Chicago-based artist exhibits objects of the everyday, a departure from his past large-scale architectural creations. They are not simply rendered useless through presentation as an art-object in the museum space, instead, the artist actively obstructs their functionality. Through this blockage, Manglano-Ovalle opens his objects up both to an investigation of their materiality and their generative potential.
