Biography

[edit]

His beginnings are linked to Hispanic alternative circuits, developing a large part of his career in Salamanca. Founder of the El Gallo Contemporary Art Space and Mausoleo de Morille.[1], Guggenheim Bilbao, Museo del Barrio (New York), London Biennale, Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Caracas (Venezuela),[2] James Joyce Center (Ireland)) y MCO Arte Contemporanea (Portugal), among others. He has been awarded the Domingo Sánchez Blanco Chair at the University of Chile.[3]

Parallel to his artistic side, Domingo has been a great fan of archery. Getting to participate in national tournaments in the field shooting discipline and holding management positions in the Royal Spanish Archery Federation (RFETA).

In 2015 he participated, as one of the interviewees, in the cult film No escribiré arte con mayúscula, dedicated to the conceptual artist Isidoro Valcárcel Medina and directed by Miguel Álvarez-Fernández and Luis Deltell.

Sometimes, in his cinematographic works, he uses the nickname D.F. (Domingo Fernández).

Videocreación

[edit]

Domingo Sánchez Blanco entered into radical audiovisual approaches with the video creation he directed in 1993, La Roulottes, where he intentionally broke with all conventional narrative for 35 minutes. Its novelty lay in the new method of production, the feature that defines the work seen by a painter, what is before him disappears from consciousness, being filled with a pictorial representation of the world and the division of the viewer and what is observed disappearing[4]
