Nick Mauss is an American artist. His highly diverse work— which includes sculpture, writing, painting, performance, and scenography—is rooted in drawing. Through his work, he seeks to get beyond the hierarchies between decorative arts, crafts, and fine art, by exploring formats like reverse glass painting, ceramics, textiles, and paper. His practice tends towards the reinstatement of forgotten or marginalised historical sources. In 2019, Nick Mauss participated in restaging Yvonne Rainer’s 1965 dance Parts of Some Sextets in collaboration with Performa. He also initiated the book Remembering a Dance: Parts of Some Sextets, 1965/2019.
