Alicante, November 14, 2025. The exhibition hall of the Lonja del Pescado opens this Friday the exhibition by Cuban artist Dagoberto Rodríguez titled Architectures of the Voice.
In Architectures of the Voice, Dagoberto Rodríguez turns the everyday into a sign, paying special attention to materials and to the word. Rodríguez—one of the founders of the collective Los Carpinteros in 1992, with whom he redefined the boundaries between art, architecture, and design for more than two decades—presents three series in Alicante. In Gymnasium of Thought, he introduces a large crossfit cage as a vast library bearing the names of the authors who have accompanied him throughout his life, such as García Lorca, Hannah Arendt, and Dostoevsky. In Word and Cuba, the artist unfolds an aesthetic and conceptual exploration of the word as living matter, as a vehicle for memory, identity, and resistance, capturing the pulse of Cuban street language and bringing it into the realm of contemporary art.
In a time of acceleration and noise, Dagoberto Rodríguez’s work invites us to pause and understand that thinking is also a physical act. That every form of political, aesthetic, and emotional resistance begins with attention. The exhibition will be on view until February 22.
