“Some bodies are built under the umbrella of conventionalism, while others question this construction. They open the spectrum of possibilities and erase invisible borders, in order to decolonize perception of the world. These bodies help the rest to evolve and grow. These bodies make us as a society: better.” – Marina Mascarell.

Lolo y Sosaku (°1977 °1976, Buenos Aires, AR & Tokyo, JPN) 
Lolo & Sosaku investigate the possibilities of sculpture as an expanded field. The nexus that unites their work is the quest for an object in contact with its surroundings and with the spectator, an object that seeks friction and tension, exploring the capacity of creating new meanings. 

Their work moves between different artistic languages such as sculpture, installation, kinetic art and painting, often incorporating music and sound. Its modus operandi is to constitute itself as a subject and to reach from its machinic materiality to transcendence, to mysticism and to the unknown. 

Electronic music is certainly the highlight of their inspiration as a complex language translated into sound installations and sculptural compositions. Shapes, lines, materials and sounds are assembled together into motion sculptures that perform taking their own voice in an unpredictable continuous transformation. Exploring many artistic horizons and redefining boundaries, their interest is the energy and the hidden forces that guide life in our technological age. 

Lolo & Sosaku’s work has been exhibited and performed, amongst others, at Museo Reina Sofia (Madrid, Spain), MACBA Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona (Barcelona, Spain), Liceu de la Opera (Barcelona, Spain) PSA Power Station of Art (Shanghai, China), MIS Museu da Imagem e do Som (São Paulo, Brasil), Fundação Casa França Brasil (Rio de Janeiro, Brasil), Sónar (Barcelona, Spain), Matadero (Madrid, Spain), Night Time Story, (Los Angeles, California) Palace of Culture (Iasi, Romania), Luis Adelantado Gallery (Valencia, Spain) and Instituto Cervantes (Milan, Italy) MAH Museum art and history (Geneve, Suiza), Double Square Gallery, Taipei, Taiwan
