Lives and works in Melbourne


Gabriel­la Mangano and Sil­vana Mangano have large­ly worked col­lab­o­ra­tive­ly through­out their artis­tic careers. This is a cen­tral focus for their work, with their sim­i­lar selves fea­tur­ing as a start­ing point for ideas and actions. Their per­for­mances and videos explore the rela­tion­ship between the body and its abil­i­ty to form a con­nec­tion with objects, time and space. This is com­mu­ni­cat­ed in the artists’ work through sub­tle ges­tures, phys­i­cal inti­ma­cy and inter­ac­tions with imme­di­ate environments.

Pub­lic col­lec­tions include the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Syd­ney; Art Gallery of West­ern Aus­tralia, Perth; Chartwell Col­lec­tion, Auck­land; KADIST, San Francisco;Monash Uni­ver­si­ty Muse­um of Art, Mel­bourne; Muse­um of Con­tem­po­rary Art Aus­tralia, Syd­ney; Nation­al Gallery of Aus­tralia, Can­ber­ra; QAGO­MA / Queens­land Art Gallery & Gallery of Mod­ern Art, Bris­bane; and UQ Art Muse­um, Uni­ver­si­ty of Queens­land, Bris­bane; as well as pri­vate col­lec­tions across Aus­tralia and Europe.
