Estuary: Lamp Building Workshop with Rafael Domenech

Artist Rafael Domenech, who created Estuary [Pavilion for MOAD], an outdoor public artwork commissioned by the Museum of Art and Design at MDC, leads participants in an exploration of relations between objects and language. The artist invites us to construct a paper lamp as an experimental publication. Domenech's workshop enables the creation of original artworks that participants can bring home after taking part in the process of making.

Cuban American artist Rafael Domenech received his BFA from the New World School of the Arts at Miami Dade College in 2015 and his MFA from Columbia University in 2019. He was the recipient of awards from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, the Tulsa Artist Fellowship, and the Cintas Fellowship. His work has been exhibited at the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh; Passerelle Centre d'art contemporain, Brest, France; The Institute for Contemporary Art at Virginia Commonwealth University; MIT List Visual Arts Center, Cambridge, Massachusetts; SculptureCenter, New York; Socrates Sculpture Park, New York; The Bass Museum, Miami Beach; and Artium Museum, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain.
