Elena Dahn (Buenos Aires – Argentina, 1980)
Dahn explores the relationship between sculpture and performance. Her process takes time, patience and a profound connection, and usually triggers a struggle between coercive forces that act on the space, the matter and the body.
She graduated with a Masters in Social Communication. She also studied Visual Arts at the Universidad de Buenos Aires and at the workshops of prestigious artists such as Miguel Harte, Emiliano Miliyo and Marina de Caro.
Between 2009 and 2010, she organized the program for artists at the Universidad Di Tella, with the tutorship of Jorge Macchi. In 2010, she obtained the first prize in the Curriculum 0 competition of the Galería Ruth Benzacar. In 2011, she obtained a scholarship from the MNSEN Foundation and attended a postgraduate program in the sculpture department of the Royal College of Arts, London.
Her solo exhibits include: Cámara (Móvil, 2017), Rompimiento (Galería del infinito, 2014), Heterotopour (Galería Mite, 2012), Dócil (Galería Ruth Benzacar, 2010). Her collective exhibits are: Epsilon (MACBA, 2016), Seduction of a Cyborg (Barro Galería, 2016), Romántico (Fundación Proa, 2014), Calle e Rua (AGentil Carioca Art Gallery, Rio de Janeiro, 2011).
