Cecilia Bengolea (b. 1979 in Argentina. Lives and works in Paris, France) is a multidisciplinary artist using dance as a tool and a medium for radical empathy and emotional exchange. Through collaboration with others – artists, performers, deejays and dancers –Bengolea develops a broad artistry where she sees movement, dance and performance as animated sculpture, where she herself is both object and subject in her own work. Bengolea’s work has been extensively exhibited at institutions such as the The Guggenheim Bilbao (2021, 2022), the Gwangju Biennial (2014, 2021), Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection, Paris (2021), La Casa Encendida, Madrid (2021), Tank Shanghai (2020), Centre Pompidou (2010, 2016, 2019), SFER IK Tulum (2019), Fondation Giacometti, Paris (2019), Performa, NY (2019), Desert X, Salton Sea (2019), TBA21, Venice and Madrid (2018, 2019), Dhaka Art Summit (2018), Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2015, 2018), ICA London (2015), Elevation 1049, Gstaad (2017), Dia Art Foundation (2017), Hayward Gallery, London (2016), Biennale de Sao Paulo (2016), Tate Modern, London (2015) and the Biennale de Lyon (2015) to name a few. She recently took part in the exhibition Sections/Intersections, 25 years of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao Collection and has an upcoming residency with Arte Explora in Paris. Bengolea has collaborated with dancehall artists such as Craig Black Eagle, Bombom DHQ, Damion BG, and with artists Dominique Gonzalez Forster and Jeremy Deller. Her collaborative work with French choreographer François Chaignaud, Pâquerette (2005-2008) and Sylphides (2009), have earned several awards such as the Award de la Critique de Paris in 2010 and the Young Artist Prize at the Gwangju Biennial in 2014. They have also co-created dance pieces for their dance company as well as for the Ballet de Lyon (2013), the Ballet de Lorraine (2014) and Pina Bausch Tanztheater Wuppertal (2015).

 

Mark Frygell (b. 1985 in Umeå, Sweden. Lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden) has studied at The Royal Academy in Umeå, Sweden and Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Vienna, Austria. His work has been shown in the Moderna Exhibition at Moderna Museet in Stockholm and recently the public space Härnösand Art Gallery presented a solo-exhibition with his work. Mark Frygell’s works depart from the history of painting, sub-cultural images and cartoons. He repeatedly manipulates and reworks gestures, references and materials, inspired by different methodologies of painting. His interest lies in concepts such as caricature, the grotesque and the comic. His most recent works explore his own relationship to the figurative painting, the still-life and landscape painting as carriers of collective consciousness, moral symbols and identity. In line with these interests, his reuse of forms, colours, compositions, themes and expressions of a certain painterly language form an important part of Mark Frygell’s method. Starting with quick drawings made directly on the pages in books that he reads, or on different found materials, he then refines and process the motives, shifting materials and formats before working with oil on canvas. Through these different stages, he explores the motives and finds new shapes and forms.
