WHo’sDOMA? +++++++++

“Understanding the world as a big lab helps to detect the reaction to each action. We are living a special moment in history - This scenario calls for action. DOMA tries to interfere in ALL the information channels available. Working with the same elements as them with a bit of irony… thus sparking change in people’s perception; offering another point of view. The process: Cross ideas. Action-Reaction.”

DOMA is a group of argentines that started in the Buenos Aires Street-Art scene in 1998 doing urban installations, stencils, street-projections and absurd campaigns. They studied illustration, film and graphic design. Today they divide their time between art projects and commercial work for clients like Mtv, Disney, Discovery, Fox and other companies.

Since the beginning in the Street-Art field, they started creating conceptual universes, different worlds and characters that have been evolving to come alive later with the group’s specialization in animation, motion graphics, filming and VJeing.

In 2001 DOMA produced an experimental animation project called “01cerouno” (26 min.), a media intervention that was broadcast all over Latin America and Iberia on The Locomotion Channel. At the same time, DOMA was part of the group of artists that developed the award winning look of this cult channel.

In 2002 DOMA was invited by Curator Rafael Cippolini to participate in an important collective exhibition with photographers MUMI and UENO at Malba Museum in Buenos Aires. The main concept of this exhibition was Security/Surveillance/Fear and DOMA’s work was a huge installation with security cones, CCTV, monitors, giant silhouettes and signs with messages.

Today, DOMA has just finished a process of more than two years of work, creating a crazy world full of parody and acid characters under the power of “Roni”, a “sketchy clown”. “Roni World” is the name of this project that was born as a criticism towards the world situation and the argentine crisis of 2001. This project includes a website, art installations, videos, street campaigns, stencils, a book, dolls, posters and songs. This exhibition at Zakka is a handpicked selection of different series of pieces from this interesting project.

DOMA are Mariano Barbieri / Julian Pablo Manzelli / Matias Vigliano / Orilo Blandini.
They are located in Buenos Aires, Argentina and also in Miami, USA.
