Daniel Steegmann Mangrané Untitled, 2023
Kriska aluminium curtain, aluminium rail, powder-coated steel frame
340 x 460 x 6 cm (133 7/8 x 181 1/8 x 2 3/8 in)
The work is part of Daniel Steegmann Mangrané’s ongoing series of brightly colored aluminum works. The work consists of a curtain made from individual chains that includes a shaped form lined by a metal border. The "continuation" of the curtains below the openings appears counterintuitive, adding an element of surprise.
Widely used in Spain, Kriska curtains can function as flexible screens for entryways. Oscillating between appearing as diaphanous screen and semi-solid object, the curtains are both indications of a transition (meant to be traversed, marking the end of one space and the beginning of the next) as well as sculptural objects, existing in a hybrid state between corporeality and immateriality.
Steegmann Mangrané’s practice includes sculptural works, architectural interventions, films, sound works and drawings. The artist's work often addresses the legacy of Latin American art and architecture. Steegmann Mangrané presented the first Kriska curtain installation as his contribution to the 33rd Panorama at the Museu de Arte Moderna in Sao Paulo in 2013, where the curtains featured shapes taken from the work of the architect Lina Bo Bardi who had refurbished the building in the 1980s. In 2016 Daniel Steegmann Mangrané conceived the scenography for the group exhibition which consisted of curved and elevated curtains.
