Rafael Domenech: Folded Nodes
Hua International is pleased to present the second solo exhibition of Rafael Domenech in Beijing, Folded Nodes. The exhibition takes its name from the concept of a "folded node," a term borrowed from network systems and diagrammatic logic. In mathematics and computing, a folded node cross-connects points that would otherwise never intersect. Domenech repurposes this idea as both form and metaphor, creating a spatial network where disparate elements—art, language, and architecture—unexpectedly converge.
In Folded Nodes, Rafael Domenech transforms the gallery into a hyperrelational landscape of language, material, and structure. The exhibition unfolds across a vibrant green infrastructural framework—a sprawling, diagrammatic system that resembles scaffolding yet functions more like an architectural model. This green network, reminiscent of a building's ground cable, runs throughout the space, connecting every element like a citywide circuit designed to discharge loose currents. In electrical systems, the ground cable is the one wire you can touch without risk— it stabilizes, protects, and ensures continuity. Here, it operates as both literal support and metaphorical infrastructure, a conduit that holds together the fragmented material of the exhibition while underscoring the interconnectedness at the heart of Domenech’s practice.
