Nina Canell (b. 1979 in Växjö, Sweden) currently lives and works in Dublin and New York. Her work seeks ways to address sculpture as a restless form with fleeting properties. Relating spatial and structural concerns to that elusive fabric which constitutes the melancholic nature of being, the work facilitates a place in which matter and non-matter hold hands through carefully balanced sculptural happenings.
Recent exhibitions include Manifesta 7 – The European Biennial of Contemporary Art (Trentino), Nought to Sixty, Institute of Contemporary Art (London), Movement, Contingency, Community - The 7th Gwangju Biennale (Gwangju), Come Together, The Douglas Hyde Gallery (Dublin), Beyond the Country at Lewis Glucksman Gallery (Cork) and Slight Heat of the Eyelid at Mother’s Tankstation
Nina Canell is represented by Mother’s Tankstation (Dublin) and Galerie Barbara Wien (Berlin).
