Klara Liden(born 1979, Stockholm, Sweden) is a contemporary artist. She lives and works in Berlin. She is known for her installations and videos that respond to specific architectural environments.[1] “Liden proposes architecture of piracy and détournement, a deviation of existing materials and spaces from their normal functions and uses. Rebuilding by unbuilding, the artist prefers the constraint of what is already at hand, re-making everyday space on the spot. Her material interventions –frequently accompanied by performative actions – are also a means of de-programming everyday behavior and experience.”[2] “The artist makes videos that challenge accepted codes of behavior. Brimming with physical intensity and ferocity, Liden performs illicit acts for the camera, from the methodical destruction of a bicycle to an eccentric dance on a crowded Stockholm commuter train.”[3]

Klara Liden attended School of Architecture, Royal School of Technology, Stockholm (2000-2004), Universität der Kunst, Berlin (2003), University College of Arts Crafts and Design, Konstfack,Stockholm (2004-2007).[4]
