Daniel Steegmann Mangrané: A Leaf Shapes the Eye
MACBA presents the first retrospective dedicated to the work of Daniel Steegmann Mangrané
Co-produced with the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma, Helsinki, the exhibition A Leaf Shapes
the Eye brings together drawings, paintings, photographs, holograms, sculptures, films and
installations made from the late nineties to the present by Daniel Steegmann Mangrané (Barcelona,
1977). It is the first major retrospective dedicated to the work of this Catalan artist.
For Steegmann Mangrané, who lived in Rio de Janeiro for two decades, the tropical forest is a living being capable of transmitting the urgencies of the contemporary world, whether ecological, political or social, themes that run through Steegmann’s work, characterised by an aesthetic language close to Brazilian Neo-Concretism.
The exhibition is accompanied by an artist’s book. A limited edition, produced early this year, the book is structured as a circular visual cycle beginning with the artist’s first works and advancing to his most recent, only to return to the conceptual origin and matter that has defined his career. This publication is co-published with Kiasma; the Centro de Arte Moderna Gulbenkian, Lisbon; and the artist’s book publisher BOM DIA BOA TARDE BOA NOITE, Berlin.
