Amy Friedberg

Otis
2021

Amy Friedberg is a Los Angeles based artist. Friedberg makes things. Her work takes multiple forms: drawing, object, installation and project based. She incorporates text, data, found objects and nontraditional materials to create absurdist constructions with humor, sincerity, lies and truth.

Raised outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Friedberg received a BFA in Sculpture from Tyler School of Art in the 1990’s and a Master of Fine Arts from Otis College of Art and Design in May 2021. Friedberg has participated in group and solo shows in Philadelphia, New York, Los Angeles and Mexico City.
