Barcelona, Spain, 1977.
Lives and works in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Daniel Steegmann Mangrané’s practice covers various media and oscillates between subtle, poetic, and crude experimentations that question the relationship between the world and language.
Although mainly conceptually informed, his installations engage the imagination of the spectator and display a strong concern with the existence and features of concrete objects. Steegmann Mangrané uses abstract language to articulate unstable meaning, and his works thus convey a sense of space and time. In November 2015, Mangrané was listed by Artnet News as one of the 50 Most Exciting Artists in Europe Today.
