Carlo Maghirang (he/they) is a Los Angeles-based installation artist, scenographer, and experimental space designer originally from San Pedro, Laguna, and the Philippines. Specializing in sculptural and architectural interventions that bridge the gap between art object and environment, much of his body of work deals in immersive experiences and performative spaces. Such recent works include: Apolaki: Opera of the Scorched Earth with Micaela Tobin (LACE), Wake with Jay Carlon (REDCAT), Sweet Land (The Industry), and Vibration Group with Anna Luisa Petrisko (LACE).
UPCOMING: Maghirang’s outdoor installation MA-NA-NANG-GAL – a biographical exploration of the artist’s journey of immigration/displacement told through the lens of the manananggal folklore - is set to open March 2024 at Lincoln Center’s Hearst Plaza Tree Grove, NY as part of the Social Sculpture Project (Collider Project, Lincoln Center, Mellon and Ford Foundations).
