ABOUT

Merav Leibküchler is a Berlin based artist working across painting, installation, and performance. Her practice explores processes of emergence, transformation, and perception, investigating how form materializes from uncertainty and how invisible structures shape our experience of reality.

Leibküchler studied Fine Arts at the Universität der Künste Berlin, where she completed her Meisterschülerin under Prof. Thomas Zipp. During her studies she participated in an exchange program at the Faculdade de Belas Artes, Universidade de Lisboa. Her spatial thinking and sensitivity to tension, rhythm, and material resistance are informed by an earlier education in contemporary dance and choreography at the Matte Asher School for Performing Arts in Israel.

Her work has been presented internationally in museums, galleries, and performance venues, including Volksbühne Berlin, Museum FLUXUS+ Potsdam, and Galeria Arte Graça Lisbon. In 2019 she received the Recognition Award of the Helmut Thoma Foundation and was nominated for the President’s Prize of the Universität der Künste Berlin. She has received project funding through programs of the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media and Neustart Kultur.
