Klara Hobza
Klara Hobza’s practice incorporates performance, video, drawing and sculpture and is conceptually held together by narrations of self-imposed endeavours. In her multilayered art- works, Klara Hobza captures natural matters in analytic and often also humorous ways, while maintaining an underlying thread connecting a sense of discovery, playfulness and wonder.
Having studied under Mark Dion at Columbia University in New York, Hobza’s works and projects engage deeply with nature, featuring a strong interest in animal life as well as an investigative play on science’s limitations.

Her projects have been widely discussed in contexts ranging from art, science and technology to general culture (selected publications include Artforum, Monopol Magazine, AD Architectural Digest, Scientific American, Popular Mechanics, New York Times Klara Hobza Biography - Soy Capitan MIZ
