Mette Stausland
Aargauer Kuratorium Residency
2007
Mette Stausland is a Norwegian artist working exclusively within the tradition of drawing. After training as a dancer she transferred her interests to visual art following an injury that halted her career in dance.

Mette has exhibited throughout Europe, with solo exhibitions at Galerie Lelong, Zürich, Switzerland (2007); Galerie Rosenberg, Zürich, Switzerland (2014); and Kristiansan Kunsthall, Christianssand, Norway (2015). Important group exhibitions include Auswahl 15, Aargauer Kunsthaus, Aarau (2015); Kunsthal Charlottenborgin, Copenhagen and Institut d'art contemporain Villeurbanne/Rhône-Alpes (IAC) in Villeurbanne. Mette’s work resides in the collection of the Sørlandets Art Museum in Kristiansand, Norway.
