Stephanie Allespach is a German American artist who lives and works in Los Angeles and Berlin. Committed to a project based practice, she seeks ideas and images that reshape conventional notions of reality to engage the imagination of the viewer. Her practice explores concepts of political engagement with the poetry of chance encounters through documentary observation and everyday theatricality. In particular her work re-examines interactions that interlace the imaginary and the real as expressed within environments as object and through performed body.

Allespach received her BFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and her MFA from the Art Center College of Design. She has exhibited nationally and internationally, as well as screened and performed at various institutions such as: The Getty Museum, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Southwest Museum, Spaces, Torrence Museum of Art, The Fowler Museum, American Cinematheque, Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions, Outpost for Contemporary Art and Armory Center for the Arts (Pasadena).
