Elana Katz is an American artist currently based in Berlin. Her most recent work focuses on consciousness of time, historical perception, and locations of erased history. Dealing with the body through performance is a fundamental aspect of her artistic practice. Working often from a historical basis, Katz’s work confronts cultural conventions, critically examines the complexity that lies within contradictions, and thus aims to create, in one way or another, an experience of unlearning the assumed. Her recent grants have included the DAAD Graduate Studies Grant (2010) and the Franklin Furnace Fund for Performance Art (2011). She participated as a re-performer at Marina Abramovic’s retrospective at MoMA in New York, and has recently exhibited/performed at Location One of New York, USA (2011) Content @ Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, Japan (2011), and Musée Royaux des Beaux Arts de Belgique, Belgium (2011).
