Sculptor Claire Lieberman makes “anxious objects in black marble, toy guns in glass, and related prints to consider exchanges of play and power.”
Her work has been featured in many solo shows at venues like the Massey Klein Gallery and THE LAB in New York, the Marcia Wood Gallery in Atlanta, the Seoul Art Center in South Korea, and the Martin Art Gallery at Muhlenberg College. She has also participated in group shows at venues like the MUDAC Museum in Switzerland, ACC Galerie Weimar in Germany, and PDX Gallery in Portland.
She has been published in Sculpture magazine, Whitehot Magazine of Contemporary Art, Neue Zürcher Zeitung, Vasari21, artcritical, and in the book Camouflage published by the Imperial War Museum in the UK. Images of her sculpture work and photography are in a new book Loaded: Guns in Contemporary Art (Schiffer Publishing 2022).
During her 2022 MacDowell Fellowship, she focused on an ensemble of sculptures and drawings that consider conflict in contemporary culture – “playthings that have ‘grown up’ to haunt, provoke, attract, and delight.”
