Daniel González: sequins, Mylar and the architecture of celebration

The Buenos Aires-born artist turns celebration into a shared space through reflective materials, performance and temporary structures.

Hand-sewn sequins, Mylar and public architecture cross the boundaries between painting, fashion and event. His projects include Manifesta 12 and the Milan Triennale.

Works and context

Born in Buenos Aires in 1963 and working between New York and Verona, González has presented projects at Manifesta 12, the Milan Triennale and MAR in Mar del Plata. A hand-sewn sequin canvas and a temporary public architecture require very different documentation.
