Who is Susan Kleinberg?

Susan Kleinberg is a New York-based artist. Her latest piece, KAIROS, derived from her work with the scientific team of the Louvre during 2012-2013, premiered at the Alliance Francaise Venice for the opening of the 2013 Venice Biennale.

KAIROS is a landscape of possibilities in deep migration, with images filmed through the Louvre's high-resolution microscope from elements related to an enigmatic Mesopotamian figure. They are an avalanche of the possible, microcosm and immense in space, from the center of what we don't know to the implications of imagination. Slowly unraveling beyond descriptive, they reach to an almost undulating, disequilibrating atomic level, in deep color. The unraveling images are an excavation through borders, an essential comment on location of perspective. The microscope functioned as an invisible facilitator.

Ms. Kleinberg's work has been shown at three Venice Biennales, in 1995, 2001; and 2011; as well as during the 2005 Venice Biennale, sponsored by the Istituto Veneto, the 2009 Biennale, sponsored by Telecom Italia, and the 2013 Biennale. In addition to Venice, she has exhibited at galleries and museums around the world.
