Claire Lieberman is a sculptor and printmaker whose work explores material instability and perceptual dislocation. As a sculptor, she works with both traditional and experimental materials—including Jell-O, alabaster, wax, glass, rubber, and marble—alongside video and photography to create installations that unsettle expectations of solidity and permanence. As a printmaker, Lieberman translates the formal concerns of her often ephemeral sculptural works into two-dimensional form.
By juxtaposing solid and transient materials with static and kinetic imagery, Lieberman constructs a surprising reality in which the perceived rigidity of image and material begins to dissolve. Her work blurs distinctions between permanence and impermanence, inviting viewers to reconsider the physical and conceptual limits of form.
Lieberman holds an MFA from Pratt Institute and a BFA from Tufts University. She has exhibited widely in solo and group exhibitions throughout the United States and internationally, including the Chelsea Art Museum, New York; Forum Schlossplatz, Zurich; Musée des Arts Décoratifs et du Design (mudac), Lausanne; Seoul Arts Center, Korea; Queens College Art Center, New York; and The LAB, New York. She has also completed public commissions in Providence, Rhode Island; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; and Salina, Kansas.
Her work has been reviewed in Whitehot Magazine, Sculpture Magazine, The New York Times, and Art on Paper.
