ART BASEL MIAMI BEACH

Simon Dybbroe Møller’s practice tests the relationship between essential sensate qualities and the evolution of communication; how it feels to be bodies tumbling or stumbling through this world; how we change media and how media changes us. His work often concerns the materiality and physicality of things against the backdrop of ubiquitous representations in the media.
He has had solo exhibitions at Contemporary Art Centre in Vilnius, Fondazione Giuliani in Rome, Kunsthalle Sao Paulo, 21er Haus in Vienna, Kunstverein Hannover, Frankfurter Kunstverein, among others. His work was included in the 5th Moscow Biennial, the 2nd Turin Triennial, and the 9th Berlin Biennial and in group exhibitions at MOCA Detroit; KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; SMK National Gallery, Copenhagen; Centre Pompidou, Paris;  CCA Wattis in San Francisco, Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin, Ludwig Museum Köln, MMK Frankfurt am Main and the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo. Dybbroe Møller has been an invited lecturer and guest teacher at Harvard University, UDK Berlin, Kunstakademie München and  École Nationale des Beaux-Arts de Lyon.

He studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf and at Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main.

Mandla Reuter was born in 1975, Nqutu (South Africa), and he lives and works in Berlin (Germany). As a sculptor and installation artist, he explores the ambiguous relationship between art and the notion of ‘place’. The constant focus of Mandla Reuter’s research is the exploration of internal and external space. His interventions, which are subtle but at times also radical, call into question typical artistic notions such as ‘art production’ and ‘presentation context’. Reuter often bases his work on the specific characteristics of the space in which he is exhibiting. Poetic, ironic and surreal, Mandla Reuter is an artist who disrupts the language of the ‘system’ of art. He sometimes appears to entirely detach this from the real world, evoking an alienating atmosphere in which fiction proliferates. Reuter takes local narratives to return them to the world as universal events, metaphors of the contradictions that have always distinguished contemporary man. Iquitos, Buenos Aires, the island of Thasos, Los Angeles – where the artist owns a plot of land purchased for an exhibition (A Plot, De Vleeshal, Middelburg, 2010) – are some of the places that the artist has traced in his personal geography, the routes that led him to come across mythical tales or paradoxical stories.

In Alice Ronchi’s sculptures and installations, everyday objects meet the world of invention and fantasy. The search for “wonder” is a constant theme in the art of Alice Ronchi, populated by familiar yet enigmatic figures, product of the re-elaboration in an abstract key of everyday objects. Halfway between playful and minimalist, Alice Ronchi’s work is always a perfect synthesis of formal simplicity and geometrical precision. Through the use of different media, ranging from sculpture to photography, from performance to video, Alice Ronchi questions the world with a curious gaze and returns it to us as if it were a magic place, with the ability that artists have always had of looking at the world with different eyes.

She exhibited at Gasconade space, Milan, Peep-Hole, Milan (both 2013); Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Turin; La Triennale Museum, Milano (both 2014), Galleria civica di Trento, Trento, Fons Welters Gallery, Amsterdam (both 2015); Macro Museum, Rome and Stadgalerie, Kiel (both 2016), MamBo, Bologna (2018), MAXXI, Rome (2019), GAM, Turin (2020).
