Dagoberto Rodríguez
Born 1969, Cuba
Dagoberto Rodriguez lives and works between Madrid and Havana.
Dagoberto Rodriguez Sanchez was born 1969 in Caibarién, Las Villas and graduated from Instituto Superior de Arte (ISA), La Habana, Cuba in 1994. In 1992 he co-founded the collective Los Carpinteros. Their works have been exhibited in Museums and cultural institutions around the world, such as MOMA, Whitney Museum of American Art, Guggenheim in New York, Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, Tate Modern in London and Museo Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid among others.
Dagoberto Rodriguez is currently based working between Madrid and Habana. Combining architecture, design and sculpture, his work employs humor and irony to comment on core topics in art, politics and society. Watercolor forms a very important part of his creative process, it is a way of collaborating, registering and revising his ideas. Often these reflect a fantasy of a possible conceptual situation.

mounir fatmi & Dagoberto Rodrìguez
April 17, 2024 - June 29, 2024
Featuring the powerful and interconnected works of internationally acclaimed artists mounir fatmi (b.1970) and Dagoberto Rodríguez (b.1969).
As artists living in exile, both have personally experienced the raw reality of the migrant condition. These experiences deeply influence the artistic production of both artists: it nurtures in fatmi a dedication to dissecting otherness and identity as recurring themes, and in Rodriguez an obsessive interest in the geometry of refugee displacements.
