Monica Ursina Jäger is a Swiss artist living in London and Zurich. Working with drawing, sculpture and installation, her practice unfolds through a multidisciplinary reflection on concepts of space, landscape, and architecture that investigate the relationship between the natural and the constructed environment. Fluctuating between the intuitive, narrative and factual Jäger scrutinizes processes of transformation, re-arrangement and mediation by unfixing the boundaries between artistic and scientific knowledge production.Recent works address the ambiguities connected to post-natural landscapes, the uncertainties related to geopolitics, natural resources and the complexities of time.
Monica Ursina Jäger is a research associate and lecturer at the Institute of Natural Resource Sciences IUNR, Zurich University of Applied Sciences ZHAW. Since 2016 the transdisciplinary team develops new forms of dialogue between artistic practices and scientific research to tackle issues related to sustainability, ecology, climate change and planetary regeneration. Projects include urban interventions, green infrastructures, outdoor exhibitions and public gardens. She organises interdisciplinary symposia and workshops both in London and Switzerland.
