Iris Häussler

Visual Artist, Toronto

Iris moved to Canada in 2001. She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich and has exhibited widely throughout Europe. She is best known for her hyperrealistic, narrative installations. Locations have included rented apartments, hotel rooms, and an entire residential house; most recently she created a major intervention into The Grange, a National Historic Site of Canada and part of the Art Gallery of Ontario. Visitors explore the spaces in which the work and lives of Iris’s fictitious characters have unfolded. Through non-verbal cues and detailed material evidence, they are drawn into a personal position vis-à-vis the themes of the work. Thus Canadian philosopher Mark Kingwell has coined the term “haptic conceptual art” for this new genre. A complementary part of Iris’s work includes interactive installations that explore human existence and biography, such as archives of human traces, interventions into hotel rooms, and repurposing galleries for social functions.
