Stephan Klee (1977, Potsdam) is a curator who lives and works in Berlin. After five semesters of philosophy and modern German history at Humboldt University, he studied at the University of Visual Arts Berlin (UdK) and graduated as a master student of fine arts in summer 2009. Since its beginnings in 2006, his curatorial practice has primarily focussed on the phenomenology of a ‘public space’. He is fundamentally interested in the interactions between a shared reality and the creation of artistic form. The subject matter ranges from interventions in social-architectural space and contemporary philosophical dispositives to explorations of new media and expanding virtuality. Since 2018, the foreseeable end of global ecology in the course of a late capitalist system has been at the centre of his work.
The possibilities of collective genesis often play a major role in his activities. He realises various forms of independent, collective cultural work in different collaborations with various partners. These partners include Artitude e.V., the Haus am Lützowplatz e.V., the Dockville Festival Hamburg, the Institute für Raum Experimente, the Goethe Institute Athens, State of Concept Athens, REMAP Athens, the Herzliya Museum Tel Aviv, the Hamburger Bahnhof Berlin, the Centre Pompidou Paris, the Kunstverein Göttingen and many more.
Stephan Klee is a founding member and board member of the art collective Frontviews, an association of international artists and art scholars.
