Claudia Wieser cover

This publication presents Claudia Wieser's first solo exhibition in the U.S., showcasing her unique artistic approach and diverse mediums.

The artistic practice of Claudia Wieser is a rich tapestry woven from elements of history, architecture, and design, often engaging with the concepts of time and space in innovative ways. Influenced by spiritual artists such as Hilma af Klint, Wassily Kandinsky, and Paul Klee, Wieser explores the realms of abstraction and physiological experiences through her compelling installations. Her work transcends traditional boundaries, inviting viewers to experience art in multifaceted dimensions.

Based in Berlin, Claudia Wieser's artistic repertoire includes hand-painted ceramics, intricately carved wooden sculptures, tiled mirrored works, drawings, and site-specific wallpaper. Each piece is infused with imagery drawn from her extensive archive, creating a dialogue between the past and present. The exhibition titled Claudia Wieser: Generations marks her first solo showcase in the United States, held at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts and the Smart Museum of Art.

Accompanying the stunning visuals of her work, this publication features insightful essays penned by curators Rachel Adams and Jennifer Carty. Additionally, it includes three engaging interviews conducted by Maggie Taft, Igor Siddiqui, and Angelik Vizcarrondo-Laboy, offering deeper perspectives on Wieser's artistic journey and her contributions to contemporary art.
