Runo Lagomarsino develops works that present a critical vision on the construction of history-based connection, themes or analysis in current geopolitics. His work presents a well-defined political position; they possess an unfinished and fragmented aspect and acts as provocative reflections on themes of territory and exclusion. His family tree spans the globe, born in Scandinavia to Argentinian parents descended from Italian 'émigrés' who fled Europe during the First World War. His work effortlessly shifts between installation, collage, drawing, performance, and video, but always keeps in line with his heritage and political vision, charting colonial histories and opposing modes of oppression.
Lagomarsino’s works are represented in art institutions such as The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, US; Moderna Museet Stockholm, SE; The National Museum of Art, Oslo, NO. He has exhibited at institutions and biennales like, BASE Progetti per l’arte, Florence, IT; Lunds Konsthall, Lund, SE; Biennal FEMSA, Mexico City, MX; Dallas Museum of Art, Dallas, US; MAM: Mario Mauroner Contemporary Art Salzburg, AT; LACMA: Los Angeles County Museum of Art, US; Malmö Konsthall, Malmö, SE; The Venice Biennial, Venice, IT.
