Clemens Behr (*1985, Koblenz) studied sculpture at the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK) after completing a degree in graphic design at the University of Applied Sciences Dortmund. He lives and works in Berlin, developing a multidisciplinary practice spanning large-scale installations, sculpture, collage, and site-responsive interventions. His work has been presented internationally, including at the Lyon Biennale (2022), as well as in exhibitions at Galerie Punta, Sofia (2024), Hidary Zingaro, Tokyo (2019), and Kanya Kage Artspace, Berlin (2023).


Working at the intersection of sculpture, installation, and architecture, Behr develops expansive, often temporary structures through a direct engagement with specific sites and their social, historical, and spatial conditions. His practice embraces improvisation, chance, and process, allowing material behavior and spatial constraints to guide each work’s development. Within this approach, emergent forms and functional “drawings” play a central role. Shapes that arise out of acts of repair, stabilization, and ad hoc construction, where necessity becomes a generative principle. The resulting environments appear precarious and fragmentary, oscillating between construction and collapse, while foregrounding the tension between utility, improvisation, and spatial composition.
