Gravities. Solo show at The Box. Georg Kargl Fine Arts, Wien.
Georg Kargl Fine Arts is pleased to present the second exhibition of new works by Barcelona based artist Mercedes Mangrané, across painting, collage on paper, video and sculptural works in iron and alabaster.
Mangrané examines, through a varied use of materials, the embeddedness of art history and cultural production within the practice of everyday life, informed by an attentive research process incorporating the study of artefacts and protocols within museum collections.
The scales of the works, like small fragments or windows, emerge from a desire that seeks the proximity of the viewer and a lingering engagement with the senses, in a suspended moment of experience.
By traversing both a lightness and density of material, Mangrané engages a dialectic between instances of everyday occurrence and systems of cultural power, that reflects on the movements amidst finitude and transformation, form and formlessness.
