Born 1979 in Stockholm, he lives and works in Berlin.

 

Already trained as an architect, the young artist Klara Lidén resists the impersonality of her environment by marking them with her temporary physical presence or her ephemeral installations. Her architectural interventions and multiple appropriations of structures and materials reveal the conventions and constructions on which the organisation of our society is founded. Video plays a major role in her work. Most of the time, the Swedish artist films herself in fixed shots, doggedly performing what seems like a futile action in a space that she takes over and modifies with her presence and her energy. In Bodies of Society (2006), one of the two videos showing in the Saint-Cyprien space, Klara Lidén methodically destroys a bicycle with a metal bar in the confined quarters of an apartment. In Kasta Macka (2009), she appears on the banks of the Hudson River in a scene uniting several romantic clichés (sunset, solitary girl by the waterside) that are soon taken over by anger and abandonment.

 

A selection of the “posters paintings“ will be exhibited at les Abattoirs – Musée Frac Occitanie Toulouse.
