  • Nana Mandl works along the fault lines between the analog and the digital, the material and the virtual. Her often wall-sized mixed-media collages reproduce and recombine found objects with elements of painting and craft to create complex arrangements. To this end, Mandl draws on visual resources from everyday and popular culture, social media, and advertising. The source material for this work is a snapshot the artist took with her cell phone. Mandl describes herself as part of the “generation remix,” which has grown up amid the massive acceleration of image production and circulation driven by smartphones and other digital technologies. Unlimited access to the constant stream of images that surrounds us, as well as to the internet’s vast image archive, is as fundamental to her understanding of the world as the chance to do anything with those images. Through her art, Mandl bridges the gap between digital and real space, inviting reflection on the image, the world, and our collective gestures of displaying.
