Alexander Klaubert is a transdisciplinary artist based in Berlin, working at the intersection of sculpture, installation, performance, contemporary dance, sound and curation. A recurring theme in his work is the exploration of belonging, isolation, and the interaction between inner and outer worlds. By merging sound, movement, and visual elements, he challenges established communication forms and explores alternative social interactions. Autobiographical references serve as a starting point for broader societal inquiries.
In 2024, Klaubert completed his Meisterschüler studies in performative arts under Isabel Lewis at the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig (HGB), following earlier studies in Fine Arts with Tina Bara, Joachim Blank, and Peggy Buth. Collaboration is key to his practice. He co-founded the artist collective otc in 2018, the art platform Tired Mass in 2020, and the performative platform Shifting Temple in 2024 with Colette Patterson. Currently, Alexander Klaubert is participating in the „Newcomers“ 2025 mentoring program by the Performing Arts Program Berlin, with director Malte Schlösser as his mentor.
His work has been shown at ASPN Gallery, Leipzig; Wilhelm Hallen, Berlin; Eigen+Art Lab, Berlin; Marburger Kunstverein ; ZAK – Center for Contemporary Art, Berlin; and Rencontres d’Arles, among others.
