8 Week Class ONLINE | This course has been canceled

With the aim of inspiration, encouraging artistic growth and an empathetic understanding of the inner process of creating art, Iris Haeussler will invite up to 7 students into her studio (ONLINE via ZOOM) to learn about her work, creative environment and process. Students will then be asked to invite their classmates (and Iris), to present their works and works in progress, either through online presentation of photos and videos, or by using an on-site camera. Iris will lend her three decades of international practice to TSA students by creating a sensitive, supportive and playful approach to their artistic practice. A truly unique opportunity to explore and grow your art practice with mentor and guide Iris Hauessler and a community of peers.

Student prerequisites:
- Having a body of work to show (any media is welcome)
- A work in progress to be shared (optional)
- A studio or any studio-like space that can be viewed and that works can be viewed in
- Skills to operate a camera (second, mobile camera) that allows the studio to be seen via Zoom
- Basic ZOOM skills

Iris Häussler

Iris studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, Germany and immigrated to Canada in 2001.Iris Häussler has explored many ways to offer art experiences at the fringe or outside the White Cube. She is interested in creating inclusive art environments open to everybody, rather than catering to the art market only. This has a long history: she created her very first site specific art-installation for a group exhibition at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich in 1988, choosing the women’s toilets of all places. Since then, she has exhibited in basements, trailers, garages, coach houses, apartments, churches, chapels, stores, hotel-rooms, industrial buildings and historic houses as well as in international museums, galleries and Biennials.


Häussler’s work is found in international collections including the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa; the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto; the Städtische Sammlung im Lenbachhaus, Munich and the Goetz Collection, Munich, Germany. She also held a guest professorship at the Academy of Fine Art in Munich in 1999 and has given talks about her work in universities and art institutions in Canada, the USA, and Europe. Her work received awards and grants including the Karl-Hofer Prize (Berlin), the Kunstfonds Fellowship (Bonn), the Toronto Arts Council, the Chalmers Arts Foundation, the Ontario Arts Council and the Canada Council for the Arts.
