Nina Staehli
From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki
Nina Staehli (born 30 August 1961 in Zug) is a Swiss artist based in Berlin and Lucerne.
Artwork
Nina Staehli has realized interventions, performances and art exhibitions in Switzerland, Germany, France, Italy and the United States. Her first work cycles consist of sculptures, paintings and installations. Given the fact that the conventional canvas has been absent in Staehli’s painting from the very beginning, the canvas being replaced by everyday materials such as corrugated boards or paper bags[1].
Staehli’s art departs from traditional art. In a second phase, her artworks metamorphose into wearable sculptures, i.e., the so-called "Big Heads", which in turn become props for interacting with the real world in performances and videos[2].
Drawing on years of acting experience, she integrates photography, film, literature and theater into her unique body of work, and has collaborated with curators, museums, galleries, writers and art journalists. She has also carried out a number of site-specific art projects in Switzerland and Berlin.
Education
- Zurich University of the Arts, Switzerland / Walter Huerlimann's sculpture class
- Istituto d'Arte G. Ballardini, Faenza, Italy
- Acting school, Rome
Selected exhibitions, performances and films
Solo exhibitions
Nina Staehli’s solo exhibitions are based on real or fictional people or subjects, such as gentrification. It is for these performances that she creates her mask-like "Big Heads", sculptures and paintings. This mix turns Staehli’s exhibitions into theatrical productions that play out before, during and after the opening of the show.

Films and shooting locations
Nina Staehli’s does not bestow upon her "Big Head" protagonists any form of verbal articulation, to inspire the imagination of the audience in her videos. Out of the minimalistic plot and visual material, the soundtrack becomes the individual characters’ idiosyncratic means of expression.
