Amy J. Klement

In her artistic work, whether performance, text, or sculptures and installations, she addresses the metamorphosis of symbols and myths, of materials, of language and appearance.
Born in 1968 in New Jersey, USA, she received a degree in Arabic from Georgetown University, USA before moving to New York City and beginning her artistic career as a photographer and costume designer. Since moving to Berlin in 1997 she has been concentrating on performance and on creating metal sculptures using handwork techniques, and has appeared in numerous exhibitions and performance art events both in Berlin and internationally. She has been part of the Open Space network since 1998 and is a member of the Performunion as she places great importance on collective, interactive and intermedial work in which the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
