In conjunction with the exhibition the museum will host an artist talk by Barcelona, Spain based artist Domenec on Monday, October 5 at 7pm. Taking the conceptual processes of reflection as a starting point, the artist has built up a sculptural and photographic body of work that includes installations and interventions in public spaces, which takes the architectural project as one of the most productive and complex imaginary constructions of the modern tradition. During his visit to St. Augustine, Domenec and Endress will conduct a workshop together at the Crisp-Ellert Art Museum that will consider the idea of Utopia as a form of colonialism by engaging in the areas where their bodies of work coalesce: material culture, alternative architecture, social practice and public art.
Domenec has taken part in several site specific and international Public Art projects in locations such as Ireland, Mexico, Belgium, France, Italy, USA, Brazil, Argentine, Finland, Slovenia, Israel and Palestine. He is a co-editor of the art magazine Roulotte.
Finding Baroque and its related programs are generously supported through a grant from The Community Foundation for Northeast Florida. The exhibition is also a partner program of “Latino Americans: 500 Years of History,” which has been made possible through a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Library Association.
