In `The Last Cowboy’ Aaron-Victor invited 6 artists to join him in an
exhibition where artists explore the disappearance of the mythical figures
that once formed the foundations of our collective imagination.
From cowboys to explorers, these figures that shaped our image of
freedom, adventure, and heroism are also the product of stories that
do not always reflect reality. The cowboy, as we know him, is actually a
construct of cinema and folklore, a product of a society that wanted to
create a certain ideal.
The Last Cowboy questions us: what remains of these figures, and what
does this tell us about how we construct history and identity? In a time
when the boundaries between truth and myth are becoming increasingly
blurred, we reflect on what it means to enter the “last frontier” of our
stories.
