Stacking Incidentals view of installation Portland UK

Stacking Incidentals, installation on the Isle of Portland, Dorset UK, 2009

Claudia Kappenberg is a performance and media artist. Her work borrows from the everyday, appropriates, recycles and remakes, to combine the past and the present, the real and the virtual.

Performance Interventions consists of minimal choreographies. Constructed as ritualistic activity or repetitive loops the works challenge one system by creating another, disturbing established patterns and displacing the conventional.

Claudia completed an MA Fine Art/Film and Video at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in 1998 and taught on the BA Fine Art until 2002.

Since October 2003 she is Senior Lecturer in Performance and Visual Art at the University of Brighton, UK.
