Sara Kramer is a Danish-American artist born in 1985 in Denmark. She began her Fine Arts education at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam (2009–2012) and completed her degree at Weißensee Kunsthochschule Berlin (2012–2017). She continued her studies with a Meisterschüler degree at Weißensee Kunsthochschule under the mentorship of Professor Albrecht Schäfer in 2019.
Her work has among other places been shown at Haus Muche/Schlemmer at the Bauhaus Museum in Dessau (2013), Floating Projects in Hong Kong (2017), and Gerðarsafn – Kópavogur Art Museum in Iceland (2018-2019). She has among other places participated in residencies at The Danish Art Workshops (2018), Fundación Valparaíso in Spain (2019), Garage Arts Platform in Sicily (2021), The Danish Institute in Rome (Accademia di Danimarca) and will be at the Danish Institute in Athens, Greece from November this year until January 2025.
From 2014 to 2020, Kramer was part of the curatorial team behind Havebiennalen Denmark, and since 2021 she has been a member of the art and architecture collective CollColl, which has participated in various international projects the past years.
Kramer’s research-based art practice employs various media, including sculpture, video, and performance, with an emphasis on glass. She perceives glass – as an amorphous solid existing between liquid and solid states – as a compelling lens for examining space and materiality as its inherent impermanence reflects the mutable nature of perception and interpretation. It is therefore through its shifting forms and meanings that Kramer’s work examines the interplay between space, form, and context within contemporary urban landscapes.
