Jäger’s work has recently been selected for the ZKB Art Prize (2010, Art Zürich).

She explores the tension in the differently determined views of nature, landscape and architecture as socially and culturally charged spatial constructions, as well as utopian categories.

Engraving on cathode ray tube
Elements of the landscape combine with the relics of civilization, incorporating one another as natural and urban structures, geological terrain and architectural forms find themselves etched by hand on to the surface of a cathode ray tube. Monica Ursina Jäger is currently working on a new series of drawings to be shown exclusively for murmurART in October.
