Domènec (Mataró, 1962)

Domènec is a visual artist. His photographic and video work, installations and interventions in public space take architectural and urban planning as one of the most complex imaginary constructions of modernity.

He has carried out numerous exhibitions and projects in situ in different places such as Ireland, Mexico, Belgium, France, Italy, the United States, Canada, Palestine, Brazil, Slovakia, Finland, the Philippines, India and Japan.

In 2018, the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA) produced a retrospective exhibition of his work, covering his work from the end of the 90s to the present day.

He took part in the 7th edition of EN RESiDÈNCiA (2015 - 2016), mediated by A Bao A Qu, at the Institut Josep Serrat i Bonastre (Sant Gervasi, Barcelona), where he created Veïns, cases, carrers i places, an installation presented at the Jaume Fuster Library (2016) and, subsequently, at the Fabra i Coats Art Centre as part of the group exhibition Aquí hem trobat un espai per pensar. 10 anys EN RESiDÈNCiA (2019).
