Biography Angelika Markul

Born in 1977 in Poland. He lives and works in France and Poland. A graduate of the Ecole nationale des Beaux Arts de Paris (E.N.S.B.A.), section multimédia dans l’atelier de Christian Boltanski, her works have been presented in numerous exhibitions, both individual and collective, in France and in various art institutions in other countries, including Germany, Italy and Switzerland, as well as in London, Madrid, Trondheim, Montreal, New York, Buenos Aires and Yokohama.

In 2012 he received the SAM Art Projects Award and in 2016 the Prix Coal which rewards artists who focus their work on the relationship between art and the environment.

In Angelika’s art it is possible to find a very personal repertoire of forms: she combines video images with installations, often made with materials such as black aluminum foil, glass and wood.

His artistic practice is devoted to natural places that have disappeared, are unknown or dangerous for man: as in Yonaguni, where he immerses himself to discover an unknown monument that has been submerged, in Naica or Tchernobyl, where he enters dangerous places whose visit is forbidden, or in the glaciers of Patagonia, protagonists of his latest project.

Recent solo exhibitions include Memories of the Glacier (2017, BIENALSUR), Buenos Aires, Z ziemi do gwiazd, Malakoff, France (2014); Terre de départ, Palais de Tokyo, Paris, France (2014); Installation monumentale (2013), Domaine départementale de Chamarande, France, and The Unleashed Forces.

BIOGRAPHY

Sebastián Díaz Morales was born in 1975 in the Argentine city of Comodoro Rivadavia. His pictorial language bears the mark of this “capital of the wind”. As Díaz Morales himself says, the experience of growing up in an extreme environment in the middle of nowhere led him to a particular way of conceiving reality.

His films and videos, which he has produced since 1995, show that reality is nothing more than a figment of the imagination. Each figure and each narrative in them is a metaphor for the border between reality and fiction. His films revolve around the suspension of time and the displacement of space and time through constant sleep and the reconstruction of reality.

Morales works with various filmic techniques, such as montage, cartoon-like dissociations or slow motion. Sound also plays a leading role, whether in the form of noise or music. Some of his works refer to science fiction. His narrative style and dialogues have a minimalist character, but his imaginary evokes associations with which the spectator discovers a new look at reality.

His work has been exhibited in numerous museums, galleries and festivals around the world, including Tate Modern, London; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Stedelijk Museum and De Appel, Amsterdam; Le Fresnoy, Roubaix; CAC, Vilnius; Art in General, New York; Ludwig Museum, Budapest; São Paulo Biennial; Sydney Biennial; Joan Miró Foundation, Barcelona; MUDAM, Luxembourg; Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, Lisbon, and the last Venice Biennial, Viva Arte Viva. His works can be found in the collections of the Centre Pompidou; Tate Modern; Fundación Jumex, Mexico; Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Turin; Colección Costantini, Buenos Aires; Fondation Pinault, Paris; Sammlung Goetz, Munich and Coleção Berardo – Museo de Arte Moderno y Contemporáneo, Lisbon, among others.

In 2009 he was awarded the Guggenheim Scholarship.
