Biography

Lauren Klotzman is an art practitioner based primarily in Texas. A recent MFA graduate from Yale Painting, they push against the term“interdisciplinary,” instead conceptualizing their studio as a complex feedback system that contains an anti-disciplinary practice driven by many media forms. As a video practitioner, Klotzman is an instrumentalist, operating an analog modular video synthesizer to create “video paintings” via electricity. In all media, Klotzman is interested in how time and energy – as intertwined forces – compose not only the acts of art making, but existence itself. Current research topics include historical computing hardware, New Materialism, perception, consciousness, and “nostalgia of the future.” They have exhibited internationally, and their writings have been published by Hyperallergic and Glasstire, among others.
