Andrea Hasler
Andrea Hasler (born 1975) is from Zürich, Switzerland, and creates sculptures that look like they were made with meat.
Education and personal life
[edit]Hasler received her MFA from Chelsea College of Art and Design in London, UK in 2002 and currently lives and works in London, UK.[1][2]
Work
[edit]Hasler's works typically use wax, or wax-covered resin,[3] to create a wide range of objects[4] that appear to be made from meat, simulating objects such as purses and tents.[5][6][7][8] Hasler's wax and mixed media sculptures are characterized by a tension between attraction and repulsion, and highly influenced by artists John Isaacs, Berlinde De Bruyckere and Louise Bourgeois.[9] Her 2013 solo exhibition Burdens of Excess re-fashioned high-end designer accessories into bulging globs of pink wax studded with brand-name zipper pulls, insignias, straps and handles.[10]
Exhibits and awards
[edit]In 2014, Hasler won the Greenham Common Commission[3] and created a new work, The Matriarch, that took Greenham Common’s history as a starting point, focusing on the Women’s Peace Camp.[11] This work was filmed by BBC for The Culture Show.[12] Hasler also participated in the 3-D Foundation Artist Residency in the mountain town of Verbier, Switzerland creating two site-specific sculptures for the exhibition Mutations: Contemporary Sculpture in Context, curated by Paul Goodwin.[4]
Hasler's solo exhibitions include New Greenham Arts, Newbury, UK; GUSFORD, Los Angeles, CA;[10][13] Next Level Projects, London, UK;[14] and Artrepco Gallery, Zürich, Switzerland.[2] Her work was also featured in the 2014 book The Language of Mixed-Media Sculpture by Jac Scott.[15][16]
