Magdalena Hart
Barcelona, ES
Magdalena Hart (Uruguay / UK) is a critical artist whose practice is situated between art, ecology, and digital technology. Her work explores how to imagine possible futures from the sensitive and the more-than-human, cultivating porosity as a methodology for deep listening.
Shaped by personal and generational migrations, her practice approaches the body as an archive and language as a living, mutable territory. Through her "practice of prorsity", she develops a living research that composts her artistic processes as symbolic, material, and ecological gestures. She nurtures processes where reflections, materials, and digital residues decay, , and reconfigure into new configurations of intimacy.
Merging crafts such as glassblowing and metalwork, with digital interactivity, she creates hybrid environments blur the boundaries between the organic and the computational. Her gestures oscillate between erosion, care and repair
Magdalena’s work has been exhibited at the Mies van der Rohe Pavilion, Madrid Design Festival, Il·Lacions Gallery, CosmoCaixa, Mira Festival, and the Museum of Contemporary Art of Uruguay, among others.
Since 2019, Hart has co-led Akyute, an artistic duo founded with Natalia Gima, developing interactive installations that use digital technology to reimagine how “nature” is perceived and integrated within an increasingly digitized era, creating living technologies that expand ecological sensibilities. These works foster organic encounters and explore fluid modes of communication between species, systems, and bodies.
Rain and Rivers (2023) emerges from Magdalena’s ongoing exploration of breath and permeability. Collaborations with galleries such as Apoc Store, Adorno Gallery, and Il·Lacions Gallery have allowed her to materialize this dialogue, bringing spaces of sensitivity and attunement into the everyday.
In 2023, she joined Manglar, a transdisciplinary initiative formed during the Humedal residency at Hangar’s Wetlab. Bringing together artists and researchers from Uruguay, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, and Catalonia, the collective developed an experimental project inspired by the mangrove ecosystem, a threshold where water and land meet, breathing with the tides. Manglar proposes situated sciences that deuniversalize the scientific gesture, integrating the body as both site and perspective.
