Nuno Centeno Gallery is pleased to present for the first time in Portugal the Brazil-based catalan artist Daniel Steegmann Mangran\u00e9 with the exhibition \u201c\/ ( – \\\u201d, which appeals to transit states and deals with notions of corporeality and immateriality.<\/p>\n

\u201c\/ ( – \\\u201d fills completely the gallery space and it is composed by a set of 4 curtains, half industrial and half handmade. The material of the curtains is original from south Catalunya where the artist spent his summers. Widely used there in butcher shops and on the home\u2019s front doors, Kriska aluminum curtains have the ability to be traversable and close quickly after the viewer\u2019s passage, in addition to its characteristic metallic noise. The holes in the curtains invite the viewer to go through them in silence or traverse the curtain making noise.<\/p>\n

The curtains divide the space into four sections, and operate both as an independent sculptures and as elements of a larger installation, creating a work that dematerializes in the relationships established between the viewer’s body, its movement through space and the curtains that define its immediate space, making the transit and the transient the material essence of the work.<\/p>\n

Steegmann’s work spans various media and oscillates between subtle, poetic but nevertheless raw experimentations. Although mainly conceptually informed, Steegmann work displays a strong concern with the existence and features of concrete objects: Steegmann activates the abstract language as a thought-generating principle and employs unstable meaning and uncorporeal constructions as a way to address issues concerning language, body, material existence and sense production.<\/p>\n
