Daniel Steegmann Mangrané's solo exhibition is on view in Paris through July 20. La Pensée Férale continues Steegmann Mangrané's exploration of the complex relation of beings with their surroundings experienced for example in the Mata atlântica. The exhibition includes photographs and delicate branches that are suspended from the ceiling and presented on plinths. The graceful sculptures take on an embodied, perhaps even anthropomorphic quality, suggesting a sense of both fragility and resilience.

In the South of France, we have collaborated with Domaine du Muy (Var) to bring works by our artists to this beautiful location. Conceived 10 years ago by Jean-Gabriel Mitterrand and his son Edward, Domaine du Muy is a private park dedicated to monumental sculpture nestled in a wild landscape between the Maures and Esterel massifs. On the occasion of this first collaboration, Esther Schipper presents sculptures by Martin Boyce, Angela Bulloch, Ann Veronica Janssens and Julia Scher in the Sculpture Park. Domaine du Muy also includes a house restored by India Mahdavi with an indoor gallery where a selection of works by Martin Boyce, Rosa Barba, Angela Bulloch, Etienne Chambaud, Simon Fujiwara, Annette Kelm, Ann Veronica Janssens and Isa Melsheimer will be on view from July 11.

In Berlin we have just opened Twilight is a Place of Promise, featuring works by 19 international artists born between 1895 and 1996.

We hope you have a chance to stop by! The exhibition will be on view through August 24.
