Biography

Lauren Klotzman is an interdisciplinary artist who seeks to push the boundaries of what painting is, operating their studio as a feedback system containing a practice driven by many media forms. As a video practitioner, Klotzman is an instrumentalist, operating an analog modular synthesizer to create video through voltage control. As a painter, they currently focus on composition via non-ocular vision and exploring the constraints of stillness in the context of duration. Across media, Klotzman is interested in how time and energy – as intertwined forces – compose not only the acts of art making, but existence and consciousness in general. Presently based in Texas, they hold an MFA from Yale and a BA from Sarah Lawrence College. They have exhibited at The Contemporary Austin, Yossi Milo, and David Castillo Gallery, and contributed to collaborative projects by My Barbarian, Christine Sun Kim, and E.S.P. TV.
