Natalie Häusler (b. 1983, Munich, Germany) lives and works in Berlin, Germany. She received her MFA in 2011 from Bard College/ Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts, New York and a Diploma with honours and Meisterschüler degree from Braunschweig University of Art.
Häusler’s installations explore means to cross textual and visual information. Her writing practice is intertwined with her artistic practice, as the poems she writes form the starting point for most of her installations. The works on display are developed through the use of a combination of painting, scanner, copy machine, altered ready-made objects, organic material, photography and printing processes. Questions regarding the roles and assigned attributes of producer and consumer arise along with a displacement of borders between sensual and intellectual experience, of information and carrier.
She received grants from BAU Institute, NY and the Hans und Charlotte Krull Stiftung, Berlin, the Cité des Artes, Paris and a one-year DAAD scholarship for New York. She is a co-founder of the poetry press American Books (Natalie Häusler/ Ed Steck/ Brett Price).
