A Leaf-Shaped Animal Draws The Hand
From September 12, 2019 to January 19, 2020
Curated by Lucia Aspesi and Fiammetta GriccioliPirelli HangarBicocca presents Daniel Steegmann Mangrané’s first solo exhibition in Italy from September 12, 2019 to January 19, 2020. Over twenty works, produced from 1998 to today, engage visitors in an artistic investigation on the theme of ecological complexity and on the dialectic between man and nature.
Daniel Steegmann Mangrané (b. 1977, Barcelona; based in Rio de Janeiro since 2004) works with organic elements and technology and creates artworks through a variety of media—drawing, installation, photography, sculpture, film, video, holography and virtual reality—often tracing the boundary between nature and artifice, where the separation between subject and object disappears and the collective experience is radically transformed. The artist places the sensory dimension of the viewer at the heart of his exhibitions, evoking a vivid physical experience and exploring with his works the very act of exhibiting.
