Clemens Weiss

Clemens Weiss grew up in the Region of the Lower Rhine Valley where he received technical training in mechanical engineering from 1970 to 1973.

In 1983 he moved to the small town of Süchteln in Germany in order to concentrate on his own philosophical and visual work.

Clemens Weiss has also acted as curator of large transatlantic arts and media projects, including a project for the German publication Juni (which was also published in a New York edition for the occasion), that consisted of an exhibition in Germany of specially-created print editions by New York artists in 1991.

Weiss investigates, and attempts by means of Installation and other groups of works, to bridge the different disciplines of art and philosophy.

His installations are transparent glass constructions that often contain drawings, text, paintings, and objects[1] and he uses a similar technique in his theater productions.
