Info

Amanda Assaley lives and works in Frankfurt am Main, DE. She received a Meisterschülerin from the Städelschule in 2024 under Prof. Hassan Khan, having previously studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and Yale Norfolk School of Art.

In her work Assaley articulates images, objects, film and video through a sculptural language, asking questions such as how the vernacular may upset power dynamics and address ongoing experiences of violence and dissolution. Her works arrive by way of restless formal processes of desire, leverage, and mutation as these interlace with the production of political realities. In centering method to produce and engage subject matter, Assaley’s works function as exercises in, or conduits for, struggle.

Her work has been shown at Mouhit (Tunis), the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts Museum, the Chicago Cultural Center, the Soo Visual Art Center (Minneapolis), and the Lubeznik Center for the Arts (Michigan City), among others. A solo monograph of her work will be published in 2026 by Huner Francis (Braddock, Pennsylvania).
