Nick Mauss’s diverse artistic practice encompasses drawing, sculpture, and performance along with some curatorial projects that he initiated in the last years. Mauss’s oeuvre is characterized by a perpetual state of indeterminacy, in a need of thinking about drawing and painting in an expansive sense. His work is a premeditated confusion where definitive shapes and forms are overlooked in favor of ambiguous semblances. His writing has been published in Artforum, Mousse, MAP, Peep-Hole, and in books on Jochen Klein, Isa Genzken, and Nadira Husain/ Ella Kruglyanskaya/ Birgit Megerle/ Amelie von Wulffen. He was a guest-professor at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste, Hamburg, from 2011-2012, and teaches in the MFA program at Bard College. Mauss (born 1980, BFA, The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art) lives and works in New York.
