Claudia Kübler (*1983, Zurich) grew up on Lake Greifensee, which, due to its small inflow and outflow, takes over a year to renew every drop of water.
Kübler explores the concept of time through installation, drawing and sculpture. Transience and persistence, collapse and elasticity, cycle and transformation form central points of reference in her work. She pays particular attention to geological, more-than-human time – so-called ‘deep time’, which describes ultra-slow processes. Kübler is interested in our understanding of time and, perhaps even more so, our lack of understanding of it.
Claudia Kübler studied illustration and subsequently fine art in Lucerne, Edinburgh and Geneva, completing her Master of Fine Arts with distinction in 2012. Her works have been exhibited at venues including the Kunstmuseum Luzern, the Kunsthaus Zug, the Helmhaus in Zurich, the Kunstmuseum Solothurn and the Kunsthalle Luzern. Claudia Kübler has received a creative grant from the City and Canton of Lucerne, studio residencies in Paris and Johannesburg, amongst other places, and is the winner of the 2022 Manor Art Prize for Central Switzerland. She has worked as a teaching assistant and lecturer on the Master of Fine Arts programme at the ZHdK and at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, and, alongside her artistic practice, teaches at the F+F School of Art and Design.
