Nina Canell

Nina Canell (born 1979) is a Swedish sculpture and installation artist based in Berlin.

Nina Canell was born in 1979 in Växjö, Sweden but grew up in Jönköping. She was educated at the Dún Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design and Technology.

Canell's sculpture and installations integrate buckets, funnels, neon lights, tree branches, electrical equipment, and other materials. She frequently collaborates with Robin Watkins to create film and video, music, and live performances.[1]

Canell collaborated with artists Linda Quinlan and Clodagh Emoe for the 2007 exhibition Come Together at The Douglas Hyde Gallery. Richard Linklater's film Waking Life, Joanna Newsom's album Ys, and René Daumal's Mount Analogue: A Novel of Symbolically Authentic Non-Euclidean Adventures in Mountain Climbing served as inspiration for the exhibition.[2]
