Heather Cassils
Heather Cassils, often referred to simply as Cassils, is a performance artist, body builder and personal trainer, originally from Montreal, Canada and now based in Los Angeles, US. Cassils' work uses the body in a sculptural fashion, interrogating feminism, body art, and gay male aesthetics.
==Early Educational Influences (1987- 2000)==
In 1997 Cassils received a BFA from Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (NSCAD) in Halifax, Canada. Cassils joined the college as a painting student and via an unconventional curriculum in which, for example, nude models jumped on a trampoline during figure drawing classes, quickly became enamored with video and performance. At NSCAD Cassils became interested in innovative, political and feminist work, and was advised by feminist media artist Jan Peacock and conceptual artist Garry Neil Kennedy.
Upon graduating from NSCAD in 1997 Cassils moved to New York City and secured an internship at the Franklin Furnace. They came to the organization at the moment when director Martha Wilson was taking the Franklin Furnace into the emerging digital era. Their job was to go through old documents and Portapack videos from the 1970s and upload them onto an online archive, gaining knowledge in the history of experimental performance practice. This provided Cassils with the resources to make their own performances and documentation, and in conjunction with early exhibitions and performances at the Holland Tunnel Gallery (1998), the Limelight, and PS122, Cassils was able to assemble a strong portfolio.
