Maren Hassinger (b. 1947) has built an expansive practice that articulates the relationship between nature and humanity. Carefully choosing materials for their innate characteristics, Hassinger has explored the subjects of movement, family, love, nature, environment, consumerism, identity, and race. Hassinger uses sculpture, film, dance, performance art, and public art to investigate the relationship between the natural world and industrial materials. Later this year, Hassinger and her longtime friend and performance partner, Senga Nengudi, will be celebrated with an exhibition at the Instituto Valenciano d'Art Modern.
