Exhibitions Curator

Situated at the forefront of artists who are redefining the status of an artwork and the exhibition experience, Rafael Domenech creates architectural interventions which intersect publishing methodologies—such as cutting, redacting, revising, and circulation—as research tactics to amplify his interest in the exhibition model as an active machine for production rather than a repository space. 

For his first monographic exhibition in Paris at the 193 Gallery, Rafael Domenech draws a new space within that of the gallery, creating entirely different possibilities. Planting the seeds for a new story and context, he divides the space with wooden walls that act like folding screens—an object which traditionally holds an important place in art history. Like paintings floating in space, the architectural device is both a work of art in itself and a recipient for other works, mounted on its walls and contained inside it, in the manner of a Russian Doll. As is Rafael Domenech’s custom when creating new spaces, everything inside them, with no exception, becomes a work of art.

I've always had a distanced relationship with the medium of painting because of its singular capacity to engage just through looking, its reduced relationship to the whole, the landscape, and how it operates within spaces. These works became a precise reactionary position around those inefficiencies.
