elena rocabert

artist ARCHITECT

Elena Rocabert develops a practice at the intersection of art and architecture, where material experimentation becomes a tool for imagining new networks of relation between bodies, matter and territory. In her work she explores cycles of transformation, renewal and decay, as well as the constant tension between destruction and creation, through sculpture and spatial interventions.

An architect trained at ETSAM and the Technische Universität Berlin, she was part of the curatorial team at Medialab Matadero Madrid from 2021 to 2024. She has participated in the Organismo programme developed by TBA21–Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary and the Museo de Altamira, and has exhibited at the Klima Biennale Wien, Funkhaus Vienna, Teatros del Canal, Madrid Design Festival, Bienal Mayrit and the Sala de Arte Joven de la Comunidad de Madrid, among others.

She is currently an artist-in-residence at Matadero Madrid, where she is developing a new project that expands on her work presented at Funkhaus Vienna, exploring the transformation of industrial metal structures into sculptural environments that negotiate the relationship between the body, architecture, and material processes.

Teaching plays an essential role in her practice. She is currently a professor at IED Madrid (Istituto Europeo di Design) and is regularly invited to serve as a juror and critic for student projects at the Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de Madrid and BAU, Centro Universitario de Artes y Diseño de Barcelona.

In 2024, she received the AD Creators Award; in 2025, she received a mention at the COAM Awards; and she was a finalist for the 2026 Casa de la Arquitectura Awards.
