| Elke Lehmann / Bio / |
|
Elke Lehmann was born in 1966 in Trier, Germany. She lives and works in New York.
Lehmann produces site-specific installations and public interventions that address the physical and historical aspects of the spaces in which they are sited. Often, she displaces details from the site, magnifying their potential for critical reinterpretation. Many of her works have focused on the amplification of history and collective memory. In 1998, the site-specific installation 4(to)5 conceived for Artists Space in New York marked the beginning of a new series of architectural installations, incorporating live animals and sound. In 2000/2001, Live Feed at MOMA P.S.1's Clocktower Gallery, Live Wall at Stephen Gang Gallery and Double Cage at Here Art Gallery in New York further explored this notion of the installation animated by live animals. Currently, she is working on a series of urban wearables and transformable paintings that collapse the boundaries between art, architecture and apparel design. Over the last two decade, Lehmann has exhibited at various institutions and public sites throughout Europe and the United States. Recently, her work was shown at the Kunstmuseum Bonn in Germany, Smart Project Space in Amsterdam, Stedelijk Museum Wuyts-Van Campen & Baron Caroly in Lier, Belgium and in New York at the Brooklyn Public Library , MOMA P.S.1's Clocktower Gallery, Kent Gallery, Momenta Art, MetroTech Center, Sculpture Center, Silo and the World Financial Center. She most recently received a Rema Hort Mann Foundation Art Grant and participated in the National Studio Program at the P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center and the New Views: World Financial Center Residency. Her work has been featured in various periodicals, including Art in America, The Village Voice and The New York Times. She has lectured on her work in several venues such as the Academie van Beeldende Kunsten in Rotterdam, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and at Yale University. Presently, she is a lecturer at Yale University and an adjunct assistant professor at Hunter College. Lehmann graduated from the Kunstakademie Münster in Germany, received a DAAD fellowship to study at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and completed the post graduate program at the Institut des Hautes Etudes en Arts Plastiques in Paris.
