Misunderstanding and prejudice in Contemporary Art by Elana Katz

Elana Katz is a conceptual artist working primarily in the medium of performance art.

Gallery, New York (2013), Stacion Center for Contemporary Art, Pristina (2014), Kunstwechsel, Aachen (2015), DNA Berlin (2015), and ROCKELMANN& Berlin (2016). She studied in New York at the Parsons School of Design and earned a Meisterschülerin title from the Berlin University of the Arts (Class of Katharina Sieverding). Katz has been based in Berlin since 2008.
