Patricia Domínguez Chilean, b. 1984
Patricia Domínguez was born in Santiago, Chile in 1984, and lives and works in Puchuncaví, Chile. Through a wide variety of media, Domínguez draws upon myths, symbols, rituals and healing practices, combining artistic imagination with experimental research on ethnobotany. Domínguez works with watercolours, ceramics, sculptural assemblages and video installations to create shrine-like imagery derived from a visual vocabulary that spans from plant life, mass market goods, corporate wellness schemes and the digital world. Her multi-layered artistic approach is informed by the wide scope of her education and research; her MFA from Hunter College, New York is supplemented by a Botanical Illustration Certificate from the New York Botanical Garden, a residency at CERN to learn about quantum physics, non-locality and entanglement, and time spent in Peru learning from a plant healer and researching beliefs around interconnectivity and multi-species spirit in the plant world. Dominguez is also the founder of Studio Vegetalista, an experimental platform for ethnobotanical research based in Chile.
Domínguez was awarded the Simetría Residency Award by CERN and Fundación Botín in 2022. The resulting video work, Tres Lunas más Abajo [Three Moons Below] will be premiered at Cecilia Brunson Projects in September 2024, before travelling to Centro Botín, Santander for the exhibition Itinerarios XXIX. Other recent exhibitions include ARTEONICA, part of the Getty’s PST-ART initiative at the Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA) in Long Beach, California (2024); Songs for the Changing Seasons at the first Klima Bienniale, Vienna (2024); Ether’s Bloom, Gropius Bau, Berlin (2023-4) and Rooted Beings, Wellcome Collection, London (2022). In 2024, Domínguez co-curated the project Future Ours for the UN General Assembly in New York alongside Hans Ulrich-Obrist and Jeppe Ugelvig.
