Nicolò Krättli

Nicolò Krättli (*1987, Samedan, Switzerland) is a Swiss artist, architect, and curator based in Zurich. Working across sculpture, drawing, photography, installation, digital media, and spatial research, his practice explores the translation between virtual and physical realities, investigating how images, data, landscapes, and architectural spaces are transformed into material experience. After studying architecture at ETH Zurich, where he graduated under Professor Christian Kerez in 2015, he worked on the development of Incidental Space, presented at the 15th Venice Architecture Biennale (2016). His architectural background continues to inform an artistic practice concerned with perception, representation, and the construction of space.

Krättli's work often emerges through long-term collaborations, notably with Jonathan Banz and Kaspar Stöbe. Projects such as Video Solid, Pointcloud Sculpting, and Sky of Tomorrow combine artistic experimentation with technological and scientific inquiry, examining processes of petrification, digital reconstruction, and collective image-making. His works have been exhibited internationally in Switzerland, Germany, Italy, and France, including presentations at Museum Ulm, Benzeholz – Raum für zeitgenössische Kunst, Kunsthalle Marcel Duchamp Hamburg, Dynamo Zurich, the Fiktiva Festival Düsseldorf, and numerous independent art spaces. His research and artistic projects have also been featured through publications and lectures, including Project Anywhere's Global Exhibition Program and the Parsons School of Design in New York.

Alongside his artistic production, Krättli is an active curator and founder of independent exhibition platforms. Together with Joana de la Fontaine, he initiated Displays (2020–) and BosqueRreal (2021–) in Zurich, two ongoing curatorial projects dedicated to emerging and experimental artistic practices. Through exhibitions, publications, and collaborative formats, he has created platforms for artists from Switzerland and abroad while developing a practice that moves fluidly between art, architecture, research, and cultural production.
