Domènec IN RESiDENCE at the School La Bastida
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).

Institute La Bastida
The school is based in Turó de la Bastida, one of the highest points in the Serralada de Marina mountain range, on Badalona's municipal border. The current grounds date back to 1983 and were designed by architects Josep Lluís Mateo and Eduard Bru. Next to the school, Mirador de la Bastida (Bastida Viewpoint) is a recreational area covering more than 85,000 square metres, which is adjacent to the urban area and considered the green lung of Santa Coloma.
Institut La Bastida is undergoing a major overhaul, but still offers a wide range of educational options: Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO), Baccalaureate, Intermediate and Advanced Vocational Training in Community Services and Sports.
