“Rafael Domenech: Flowers Blooming on Acid” is the first comprehensive monograph of Rafael Domenech’s work. Join Domenech and SculptureCenter curator Jovanna Venegas for a conversation around several of his recent projects featured in the book, including his 2020 SculptureCenter exhibition “Model to exhaust this place (SculptureCenter Pavilion).”
Designed by the artist and published by Isométrico Publications and 193 Gallery, this volume was released in conjunction with Domenech’s first solo exhibition in Paris, curated by Jérôme Sans at 193 Gallery. The publication includes an essay by Sans, a conversation between him and Domenech, as well as a series of projects that trace the artist’s journey across time and geographies.
Copies of “Rafael Domenech: Flowers Blooming on Acid” will be available for sale during the event.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Rafael Domenech (b. 1989, Havana, Cuba) is a visual artist working within site-specific installations, including pavilions, artist books, texts, public programs, and sculptures. His work is deeply rooted in notions of architecture/publishing and their ability to shape and inform our lived experiences. Through his works, from immersive installations to experimental publications and artist books, Domenech explores the overlapping frictions between art, design, the built environments, and the community it inhabits.
Recent exhibitions include the 58th Carnegie International, Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh; The Institute for Contemporary Art at Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond; Passerelle Centre d’Art Contemporain, Brest, France; and the Museum of Art and Design (MOAD), Miami.
