Mandy El-Sayegh

Superimposition


  • Walther & Franz Koenig Verlag
  • by Oliver Zybok, Anna Pigott
Mandy El-Sayegh's artistic practice refers, among other things, to many years of research that permeates her work in its variety of forms and media - that of the body in its many facets: in society, in science, in eroticism, as a metaphor, as a pathology, as a recalcitrant object. The Malaysian-born artist is fascinated by the status and authority given to different bodies - not least manifested by their origin and the respective cultural and sociological inscriptions that go with it.

Description

Mandy El-Sayegh's artistic practice refers, among other things, to many years of research that permeates her work in its variety of forms and media - that of the body in its many facets: in society, in science, in eroticism, as a metaphor, as a pathology, as a recalcitrant object. The Malaysian-born artist is fascinated by the status and authority given to different bodies - not least manifested by their origin and the respective cultural and sociological inscriptions that go with it. Likewise, El-Sayegh views her individual artworks as bodies, each consisting of disparate fragments, with her task of always bringing them together into a coherent whole. In doing so, she draws her material from an extensive archive, an essential prerequisite for her space-related work, which is oriented towards numerous media such as sculpture, painting and performance. Mandy El-Sayegh was nominated for the Max Mara Art Prize for Woman in 2017.

Mandy El-Sayeghs künstlerische Praxis bezieht sich unter anderem auf eine langjährige Recherche, die ihre Arbeit in ihrer Vielfalt an Formen und Medien durchdringt - die des Körpers in seinen zahlreichen Facetten: in der Gesellschaft, in der Wissenschaft, in der Erotik, als Metapher, als Pathologie, als widerspenstiges Objekt. Die in Malaysia geborene Künstlerin ist fasziniert von dem Status und der Autorität, die verschiedenen Körpern verliehen werden - nicht zuletzt manifestiert durch ihre Herkunft und den damit einhergehenden jeweiligen kulturellen und soziologischen Einschreibungen. Ebenso betrachtet El-Sayegh ihre einzelnen Kunstwerke als Körper, die jeweils aus disparaten Fragmente bestehen, wobei ihre Aufgabe darin liegt, diese immer zu einem kohärenten Ganzen zusammenzufügen. Dabei schöpft sie ihr Material aus einem umfangreichen Archiv, eine wesentliche Grundvoraussetzung für Ihre raumbezogene, auf zahlreiche Medien, wie Skulptur, Malerei und Performance ausgerichtete Arbeit. Mandy El-Sayegh war 2017 für den Max Mara Art Prize for Woman nominiert.
