The exhibition will be accompanied by a publication. The exhibition is curated by João Laia, chief curator of temporary exhibitions at Kiasma, and Hiuwai Chu, head of exhibitions Macba, with Piia Oksanen, curator of temporary exhibitions Kiasma. Shape also varies within species, within. Leaf shape is extremely variable between species. In opposition, Steegmann Mangrané proposes an integrated approach to address the critical moment of ecological crisis we are currently experiencing. However, why leaves have different shapes is not so well-studied. According to him, such dichotomies are not only false but also hierarchical, placing mind above body, rational thought above emotion, and culture above nature, ultimately enabling noxious worldviews. The different shapes of leaves include oblong, deltoid, cordate, lance-shaped and rhomboid leaves. Kiasma’s exhibition is a unique opportunity to engage with the artist’s expanded body of work, a cohesive albeit diverse place of experience and a reflection on the multiple networks defining life on the planet.Įchoing the use of bodily, perceptual and sensorial strategies as a means of political participation by such 1960s Brazilian artists as Lygia Clark and Hélio Oiticica, Steegmann Mangrané creates sensual, playful situations, which overcome artificial dualisms that have historically defined our reading of the world.
The exhibition includes a wide array of media such as collage, drawing, holograms, installation, moving image, photography, sculpture, sound, and poetry, and this event marks his Finnish debut.Įmploying ostensibly opposite ideas such as belonging and dissolution or opacity and transparency, Steegmann Mangrané creates immersive environments by materializing liminal states in which the visual and the material coalesce. Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma is presenting the largest survey of the artist in the Nordic countries to date, taking up over 1,000 square meters.

Deeply influenced by the socio-natural context of Brazil, the work of Daniel Steegmann Mangrané (Barcelona, 1977 lives and works in Rio de Janeiro) looks into ecology as a tool to analyse the relationships of mutual transformation. The morphology of leaf plays a very important role in identification of plant.
