This text by museum director and curator María Elena Ramos provides an overview of the work of Dominican-born Venezuelan artist Domingo Álvarez (b. 1935). As an architect and educator, Álvarez’s concern as an artist revolves around space. As a result of his work in museography, he reflects on space as a museological problem. When this text was written, Ramos had recently become the director of the Museo de Bellas Artes, an institution housed in a building designed by Carlos Raúl Villanueva in two phases, a classical early phase and a Brutalist expansion of the building. In 1991, when Ramos was named the museum’s director, the only space available was the expansion since the original section of the building had been occupied by the Galería de Arte Nacional (GAN) since 1976. In response to the divided building, Ramos proposed a profound reflection on “space”—a problem, like the building’s architecture, of indisputable complexity. To that end, she brought together two artists, Lucena and Dominican-born Venezuelan artist Domingo Álvarez (b. 1935) (see “Domingo Álvarez: La gramática del espacio y la ilusoria infinitude,” ICAA digital archive doc. no. 1161160). Lucena’s proposal ties different spaces in the museum to similar objects that partake of basic concise forms. Ramos reformulates the role of the museum as stage, on the one hand, and of the visitor as viewer of an illusion shaped by objects as he moves through endless spaces, on the other.
