Daniel Steegman Mangrané - The Spiritual Forest - Mousse 2018
The Spiral Forest accompanies Daniel Steegmann Mangrané’s 2016 solo exhibition held at The Green Parrot, Fundació Antoni Tàpies in Barcelona. The artist’s multimedia practice encompasses film, sculpture, video, photography, drawing, and installation. By connecting geometric and abstract forms with natural elements, Steegmann Mangrané intends to reframe the history of abstraction through non-hierarchical and non-human-centric theories of the world, inviting us to re-evaluate our point of view and reshape the traditional division between nature and culture.
The volume is a compilation of materials built out of a number of influential texts—including some poems by Stela do Patrocínio, an excerpt by Maurice Merleau-Ponty, a text by Roger Caillois—plus sets of images illustrating exhibitions, projects, and works, which ask the reader to build their own understanding of Steegmann Mangrané’s practice and concept of life.
