Mandy El-Sayegh is an artist based in London, whose practice is rooted in assemblage. Executed in a wide range of media—including densely layered paintings, sculpture, and installation, as well as performance, sound, and video—El-Sayegh’s works investigate the formation and break-down of systems of order, be they bodily, linguistic, or political.
El-Sayegh’s work will be featured in Otra Orilla / Another Shore, The Gateway Exhibition, Abu Dhabi (2024-25). Recent presentations of her work include Art Basel Parcours, Basel (2024); Overbeck-Gesellschaft – Kunstverein Lübeck (2023); MOVE 2022: Culture club—Corps collectifs at Centre Pompidou, Paris (2022); the Biennale Matter of Art, Prague, (2022); and the traveling exhibition British Art Show 9 (2021–22). Her monograph The Makeshift Body was published in 2023 by Black Dog Press. El-Sayegh’s work is in public and private collections, including LACMA, Los Angeles; Tate, London; and Sharjah Art Foundation, Sharjah.
