The Dichotomies of Materiality by Ariadna Mangrané opens the season at Les Golfes
After the summer, a new exhibition season begins in the Tarragona space with the artist from Sant Carles de la Ràpita.
The creator from Rapita, Ariadna Mangrané (1986), will be the protagonist of the next season at Les Golfes de Casa Canals, in Tarragona. The space will host, from September 4 to November 16, 2025, an exhibition that includes her most recent work and which can be visited for free. The inauguration will take place on the 4th at 7 p.m.
Trained in Fine Arts at the University of Barcelona, and with academic stays in Helsinki and the Umeå Academy of Fine Arts in Sweden, Mangrané has built an international career with a singular visual language. Her work is articulated between painting, sculpture and installation, and explores the boundaries between the real and the represented.
In 2016 he received the Francesc Gimeno Painting Prize with the piece Mineralia , which focused on the microscopic look at natural matter. Since then, he has presented projects in various settings, such as the Can Framis Museum and the Miquel Alzueta Gallery in Barcelona, as well as in artistic centers in Germany, Finland, the Czech Republic and Sweden.
Now, with Ariadna Mangrané at Les Golfes, the Tarragona audience will have the opportunity to enter a visual universe where painting becomes installation and objects are elevated to sculpture. A proposal that invites us to look at everyday matter with new eyes and to question the way we interpret and classify the world around us.
Pedreny, pedram, parany, pericle brings together a universe of new creations by Ariadna Mangrané, where painting, sculpture and installation coexist in the same breath. The artist is seduced by repetition, seriality, copying and molding, as if in each variation she were looking for the essential heartbeat of the work of art. Her gestures question what remains immutable under change, the forms that persist despite metamorphoses, the intimate features that define a piece and give it its true nature.
Mangrané, an artist who lives between Malmö and Alcanar, explores dichotomies that cross the material and the very condition of the work: the tension between background and form, between matter and residue, between rubble and monument, between creation and destruction. The exhibition is curated by Alexandra Laudo.
