This special program, happening on Friday, June 26, 2026 includes a virtual studio visit on the ISC’s YouTube channel to Rodriguez’s studio in Argentina, offering a rare, behind-the-scenes look at his process and working environment. This video will be live and available for viewing on the following channel at 3PM EDT.

Born in Mendoza and raised in the Province of Buenos Aires, Rodriguez’s multidisciplinary practice explores themes of origin, time, and materiality. His work draws from local histories, personal and family imaginaries, and the textures of everyday life. Through installation, objects, painting, performance, video, ceramics, and research, he examines manual labor as both a method of inquiry and a moment of truth.

Engaging deeply with art history and Latin American cultural contexts, Rodriguez uncovers symbolic tensions embedded in everyday activities and materials, proposing new interpretations of existing relationships on both symbolic and material levels.

The program will be moderated by María Carolina Baulo, Art Historian, Curator, and Contributing Writer for Sculpture magazine.

This session of sculpt-ER we’re joined by ISC Gallery Artist-In-Residence, Laura Jean McLaughin, as part of the programming surrounding ISC’s current exhibition, Ceramics as Sculpture.

Ceramics have been a major part of Laura Jean McLaughin’s studio practice for over 30 years. Her mastery of this medium has been forged by three prestigious residencies at the Kohler Company and is evident in many major public art projects using porcelain tile mosaics including a permanent installation at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, PA, the largest single artist museum in North America.

We strongly encourage ISC members who wish to share a current project or discuss a technical or conceptual issue during this session to focus on topics related to ceramics or ceramics as sculpture.

If you are interested in presenting to the group, please note that presentations are limited to one or two images, videos, or physical objects. Formal digital presentations (e.g., slideshows) will not be accommodated.

Sessions are held 1-2PM EST.
