Biography
Born in 1959.Sculptor, author of installations, educator, one of the most famous Polish artists, often active in public space. From 1975-1980 he studied at the A. Kenar High School of Fine Arts in Zakopane. From 1980 to 1985, he studied sculpture at the State Higher School of Fine Arts in Gdansk. In 1984, he created the concept of the Rotation Gallery, which involved carrying out artistic activities in various places and rebelling against the reality of martial law (degraded and reclaimed places, outside the art world, Land Art realizations, Barracks, Forts). In 1985 he founded the Island Gallery. Today Klaman runs the Intermedia Studio at the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk and remains an active animator of artistic life. Through his art, he participates in the debate on modernity. He is passionate about the subject of the ambiguity of culture, its entanglement in the mechanisms of power.
