Hassla PROJECTS

Hassla PROJECTS offers production, design and editing consultation for galleries, museums, non-profits, publishers and other art institutions in the publication of catalogs, monographs, artists' books and other printed materials.

Hassla has worked with established artists such as Anne Collier, Dan McCarthy, Takashi Homma, Leslie Shows and Torbjørn Rødland; as well as producing books that have brought attention to the work of emerging artists: Sam Falls, Marcelo Gomes and Pierre Le Hors, among others. We now offer our experience and knowledge to outside orginizations to assist with their publishing needs.

Our first project was a catalog of work by Matthew Monahan, published by Anton Kern Gallery.

Excerpt from essay:
Monahan's sculptures speak of both the fragility and fortitude of flesh, of the man-machine interface; of an artist struggling with materials and of humanity's ability to create, control and destroy using materials. They speak too of the struggle each and every one of us has, sooner or later, with our own corporeality and how we wish to represent that: hard and metallic or soft and tactile; imposing and fantastical like religious statuary, or delicate and realistic-looking, like high-Renaissance sculpture.
