Rachel Libeskind
born 1989 in Milan, Italy
lives and works between New York and Berlin, Germany
rachel libeskind is a multidisciplinary artist whose research-based practice examines the construction of history and the enduring power of images. Working across collage, installation, video, and performance, Libeskind appropriates and recontextualizes images in order to disrupt imposed boundaries — between the personal and public, ancient and contemporary, societal and cultural — and reveal unexpected parallels.
Libeskind has presented solo exhibitions, installations, and performances at The Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art, Auburn University, Alabama; Center for Jewish History, New York; Watermill Center, Long Island; Pioneer Works, Brooklyn; Bombay Beach Biennale; and Mana Contemporary, Miami. She has also been included in group exhibitions at institutions such as ZKM | Center for Art and Media, Karlsruhe, Germany; Alabama Contemporary Art Center, Mobile; Baker Museum, Naples, Florida; Carpenter Center at Harvard University, Cambridge; and National Media Arts Festival of Lithuania, Vilnius. She has been awarded residencies and fellowships at Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology, Kaneohe; The Watermill Center, Long Island; Long Road Projects, Jacksonville; and The Scuola di Grafica, Venice, Italy. She holds a B.A. with honors from Harvard University. In 2023, Libeskind was included in Phaidon Press's book Vitamin C+: Collage in Contemporary Art, the latest installment in the series of ‘Vitamin’ books. Born in Milan and raised in Berlin, Libeskind is now based between New York and Germany.
