MARCOS LUTYENS
Galleria Alberta Pane, Parigi, Venezia
Marcos Lutyens (London, 1964) lives and works in Los Angeles. His artistic practice targets the psychic and emotional well-being of his audiences by skillfully leading participants in hypnotic exercises that affect the deepest levels of their psyche. His works take form in installations, sculptures, drawings, short films, writings and performances. In his explorations of consciousness, Lutyens has collaborated with celebrated neuro-scientists V. Ramachandran and Richard Cytowic, as much as studying under shamans from different cultures. From these research, he has worked with visitors' unconscious states in museums, galleries and biennales around the world, including dOCUMENTA (13), Guggenheim New York, Centre Pompidou, Istanbul Biennale, Venice Biennale, among others.
EVA & FRANCO MATTES
Galleria Apalazzo, Brescia
Eva & Franco Mattes are an Italian artist duo living in New York. They were among the first artists to use the internet as a medium to create art. Through videos, installations and websites, their work responds to and dissects our contemporary networked condition, always approaching the ethics and politics of life online with a darkly humorous edge. Their works can be found in the collections of the SFMOMA, Whitney Museum of American Art, Fotomuseum Winterthur, X Museum and the Walker Art Center. Their largest solo exhibition to date is scheduled to open in July 2023 at Frankfurter Kunstverein.
