How does my work coexist with the environment of the ballroom in a 19th century Boston Mansion? Surrounded by elements of various historical periods, from Classic to Baroque, Biedermeier to early Jugendstil.
How does the beauty and decadence of those frills, putty and romantic wall paintings affect my work?
How much has our world changed since then, how much has the world of art changed and with it our perception?
How have our esthetics changed compared to those of the 19th and early 20th centuries? What are the differences? What remains?
How does the now and then connect?

Art Tells the Truth: The reality we think of is the reality we know. But we know that the reality that is is more than what we know. This truth is what art is pointing at, reminding us of, teaching us. Just because it is not thinkable doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

BERND HAUSSMANN born in Tuebingen, Germany, has been a US resident since 1994.

He divides his time between his studios north of Boston and in western Maine where he also works with his wife Anne on a 450-acre nature project.

Haussmann exhibits nationally and internationally, in galleries and non-profit venues. His work has also been visible at numerous art fairs such as Art Hong Kong, San Francisco Art Fair, Art Santa Fe, Texas Contemporary, Dallas Art Fair, Miami Project, Toronto International Art Fair, Los Angeles Art Show, Art Miami, and others.

Haussmann embraces the dialogue with his audience and the inclusion of the environment into his work. He engages in interactive projects and collaborations such as "Video Sonic Project" with the Media Institute of the University of Tuebingen; "Darwin's Coral - One Ocean Project", a collaborative exhibit with OneWorldOneOcean; "The Third Image", a photo project with Rick Ashley; "The Nucleus Project" with Werner Trotter; White-Out in collaboration with Mote Marine, Conor Goulding, in Sarasota, FL "Sea Debris Awareness Through Art"; and others.

He engages scientists in a non-verbal dialogue, "Dialogues", at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT; participates in transatlantic exhibitions such as "KunstTraject langs de Leie", Belgium, and "Art in Embassies", Brussels; creates site-specific exhibitions such as at the ballroom of the Goethe Institute Boston; and more.

Haussmann also enjoys the exchange with fellow artists and students. He has been a mentor and educator at Lesley University, Art Institute of Boston, and at New Hampshire Institute of Art; and since 2014 has been offering courses at the Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill, Truro; the Provincetown Art Association and Museum, Provincetown; and the Montserrat College of Art, Beverly.

Haussmann was the artist-in-residence at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT, 2012 - 2015.
