DOMENICO MANGANO Born in Palermo (ITA) 01 May 1976. Lives and works in Amsterdam (NL). Website: www.domenicomangano.com Gallery: Magazzino d’Arte Moderna, Rome. (www.magazzinoartemoderna.com). STATEMENT Storytelling, that is what fundamentally characterizes my work. I am interested by the marginality of the human condition in the contemporary urban context, and all my works originate in one way or another from my own observations and look on the surroundings. The central themes of my work are the experience of immigration, identity and the relationship between the private and collective dimension. But I threat these topics in a metaphoric way. Using the power of the images of the commonplace, I produce with my works a new dimension that leads towards another perception of reality.

In the Netherlands there are over seven thousand desecrated churches, many of these are built in the postwar period, particularly between the 1950s and 1960s. With the cultural changes of the 1968 and the decline in religious practice churches have become gyms, cultural centers or malls or even mosques, changing the original religious connotation. www.domenicomangano.com 12 DOMENICO MANGANO Portfolio Torba (Peatland) and Werken is Leven (diptych) 2013, C-Print on Hahnemhule paper 100x150 cm. www.domenicomangano.com 13 DOMENICO MANGANO Portfolio Orderliness, 2013, Installation on wood billboard, HD Video, 9’. This silent video is a registration of the surreal and at the same time austere ambiance of the village of Veenhuizen situated in the North East of the Netherlands, which is a former re-education colony. www.domenicomangano.com 14 DOMENICO MANGANO Portfolio Celkap, 2013, oil on paper, 27,9 x 35,6 cm. This work is based on a Dutch tradition of the Nineteenth century when prisoners were obliged to wear a mask. In this way recognition between the prisoners was avoided and the prisoner’s identity erased. www.domenicomangano.com 15 DOMENICO MANGANO Portfolio Veenhuizen Series, 2012, 12 photographs, Inkjet print on baryte paper, 50 x 75 cm each. This work is inspired by the village of Veenhuizen situated in the North East of the Netherlands, which is a former reeducation colony and nowadays still counts four prisons. Characteristic of this village are the moralistic writings on the houses, which aimed at educating the people who were working and living in the village. I have played with the sense of these writings by changing or opposing them. This is the first sketch of a project that will be carried out in the village itself. www.domenicomangano.com 16 DOMENICO MANGANO Portfolio Hou en trouw (Love for Fidelity) 2012, Installation. This work is inspired by the village of Veenhuizen situated in the North East of the Netherlands, which is a former re-education colony and nowadays still counts four prisons. Characteristic of this village are the moralistic writings on the houses, which aimed at educating the people who were working and living in the village. I have played with the sense of these writings by changing or opposing them. This is the first sketch of a project that will be carried out in the village itself. www.domenicomangano.com 17 DOMENICO MANGANO Portfolio War Game, 2012, HD video 20’. The video War Game is a series of tableaux vivants in Amsterdam. Eight, almost frozen, scenes that are accompanied by a disturbing ongoing sound alarm. It might seem an unreal portrait of the city, however with this video a monthly ‘ritual’ in the Netherlands is captured. www.domenicomangano.com 18 DOMENICO MANGANO Portfolio Nederlands op straat, 2012, audio mp3 file 7'. This sound piece is a special language course for aspirant drugdealers in the Netherlands. It is inspired by the notorious Sicilian trade and at the same time a parody of a Dutch course for integration. It has been developed shortly after my emigration to the Netherlands where I was following myself an integration course and confronted with the stereotype of the Sicilian abroad. www.domenicomangano.com 19 DOMENICO MANGANO Portfolio Cu avi lingua passa u mari, 2012, canvas banner with embroidery 400x 100 cm . A typical Sicilian expression, translated as Whoever has the language crosses the sea, became the slogan for the first supporter group of Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals and Transgenders for soccer in Palermo and Italy. The work was made in the context of an exhibition connected to the gay pride and offers another image on the masculine culture that surrounds soccer in Italy. www.domenicomangano.com 20 DOMENICO MANGANO Portfolio 515, 2011, HD video 5'. This project is inspired on the story of the anarchist Gaetano Bresci who emigrated to the United States and returned in Italy to assassinate king Umberto I in the Royal palace of Monza. 515 is an ironic vision of the return of Bresci to the palace today, alluding the actual political situation in Italy. The work was made for the biennale in Monza that took place in the Royal palace. www.domenicomangano.com 21 DOMENICO MANGANO Portfolio An Oath Sealed with Butter is an Oath that is soon forgotten, 2011, Oil on paper 45x35 cm each. The starting point of this project is a stock of forgotten wrapping papers used for Italian butter, which was distributed in a cooperative way after the war. This work is inspired by a research of proverbs on butter in the Netherlands that has an important tradition in producing butter. I have realized a series of ‘fake’ posters, painted, inspired by Dutch exemplars that once were used to represent a class or ideological group. It has become a series of ironic bricolages that combine ideals, cultures and time periods, becoming decontextualised interpretations. www.domenicomangano.com 22 DOMENICO MANGANO Portfolio Empty Paper, 2010, video HD 15 min. During the summer of 2010, when Greece risked to be expelled from the European Union, I asked ten artists who live and work in Athens to describe me their first drawing that they made when they were a kid. Empty paper is a metaphor for the origin; the entrance door to another world but at the same time a Tabula Rasa or restart. With: Omio, Georgia Sagri, Nina Papaconstantinou, Vassilis Karouk, Nikos Navridis, Katerina Apostolidou, Theo Prodromidis, Anna Lascari, Poka Yio and Irini Karayannopoulou. www.domenicomangano.com 23 DOMENICO MANGANO Portfolio Ablo, 2009, HD video 3'. Ablo project was part of the exhibition You We, curated by Francesco Bonami, who invited ten artists to make a video about a Griot musician of Burkino Faso. I have imagined Ablo inside a public garden where he has a mysterious encounter with a woman who carries out an unexpected and surrealistic gesture that destabilizes the protagonist totally. www.domenicomangano.com 24 DOMENICO MANGANO Portfolio Twinkle Twiddle, 2009, HD video 11'. A cinematographic set in an ancient hospital in Rome, marked by suffering and dead, was the context of a live performance that resulted in a noir movie with a sinister outcome. www.domenicomangano.com 25 DOMENICO MANGANO Portfolio Deaf Bikers, 2009, HD video 30’. Deaf bikers is a road movie that follows a group of deaf-mute motorcyclists in a rarely known and sometimes mysterious Sicily. www.domenicomangano.com 26 DOMENICO MANGANO Portfolio Rumor to the contrary 2008, lambda print 150x100 cm. www.domenicomangano.com 27 DOMENICO MANGANO Portfolio The Blurring Shine, 2008, video 6'. A fluxus of stolen images, contradictory sensations and fun footage in America.
