BIOGRAPHY:
LealVeileby, consisting of the artist couple António Leal (1976, Lisbon, PT) and Jesper Veileby (1985, Karlstad, SE), is a Portuguese-Swedish duo living and working in Malmö, Sweden. Working together since 2011 they have been developing a body of work that is characterized by everyday life, scientific speculation and magic. Their practice is idea-based and driven primarily by intuition. With a focus on video, they also work with a variety of media such as sound, installation, objects, text and online projects. They are interested in the history of scientific ideas and its close connection to mysticism through the ages and up to today, the relationship of our time to the digital and how it shapes many of today's reality systems, as well as the more speculative and phantasmagoric elements of humankind's possible future. It is not uncommon that they incorporate self biographical elements in their work, such as taking inspiration from António's previous education and experience of working in the pharmaceutical field. They have had Solo shows in both Sweden (Skånes konstförening 2021, 2018) and Portugal (Espaço Campanhã 2018, 2013). They have been shown at several video-art festivals and group shows in Portugal, Sweden, Spain, Brazil and Denmark. They received two-year working grants from the Swedish Arts Grants Committee (2021, 2020), the prizes Aase & Richard Björklunds Fond from Malmö Art Museum (2019) and Sven and Ellida Hjort’s Exhibition Grant from Skånes Konstförening (2018). In 2017 they were the winners of Fuso - Video Art Festival and their work is represented at the MAAT Museum in Lisbon.
