Maren Hassinger has built an expansive practice that connects humanity to nature through a range of media. Carefully choosing materials for their innate characteristics, she has explored the subject of movement, family, love, nature, environment, consumerism, identity, and race. In each context, the artist creates an eloquent response to timely issues regarding our relationship to the natural world and to each other. Hassinger is the recipient of numerous honors, including a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Women’s Caucus for the Arts. Hassinger’s work is included in the permanent collections of the Art Institute of Chicago; Baltimore Museum of Art; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Museum of Modern Art, NYC; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, NYC, among others.
Maren will be having solo exhibitions at the Susan Inglett Gallery, 522 WEST 24TH Street NYC 10011 from April 29 through June 12, 2021 and DIA Bridgehampton opening late June 2021 through May 2022. Maren lived in the springs in the mid 1990’s and exhibited at Guild Hall.
