This may, the Swedish-born KLARA LIDÉN  is making her American museum debut with a solo exhibition entitled Bodies of Society at the New Museum in New York.

Trained in art and architecture, LIDÉN (born in Stockholm in1979) often uses architectural interventions, hijacked materials, and the folds and fabrics of cities she passes through to explore the physical, psychological and social limits of the spaces we inhabit.

Part of me is this poor architect dealing with the problem of existing structures in the city, part of me is this amateur dancer or performer who wants to return ideas of rhythm to the activity of building, or of re-appropriating the built environment. – KLARA LIDÉN

➝ Bodies of Society is on view through July 1, 2012.
