Live and act
After an apprenticeship as a positive retoucher, Leiberg studied with Gerhard Kettner at the Dresden University of Fine Arts between 1973 and 1978 . He then worked as a freelancer and dealt with the combination of different media (music, film, dance, visual arts). With Michael Freudenberg and AR Penck he founded a painter's band in 1979 and began the collaboration with guitarist Lothar Fiedler , which continues to this day . Leiberg also painted Super 8 films , which were later projected onto dancers during performances. In 1984 he moved to the Federal Republic of Germany, where he became known for his art books and book illustrations for the Gutenberg Book Guild . Since 1994 he has increasingly devoted himself to sculptural work in terracotta and bronze. In 1990 he founded the performance group GOKAN with the dancer Fine Kwiatkowski and the musicians Lothar Fiedler and Dietmar Diesner , where he increasingly switched to the noise painting he had developed . He continued to perform with Christa Wolf .
Leiberg had numerous solo exhibitions, a. a. in the Borchardt Gallery , Hamburg, the Epikur Gallery, Wuppertal, and the Kunsthalle Brennabor in Brandenburg . He also exhibited at the 2nd Beijing Biennial in 2005. Leiberg's works can be found in the following museums and public collections, for example: Berlinsche Galerie, Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation , Dresden Kupferstichkabinett , Herzog August Bibliothek , Kulturfond Free State of Saxony, Klingspor Museum , Berliner Volksbank, Würth Collection and Getty Museum, New York.

social commitment
After the tragic events of September 11, 2001, Leiberg was spontaneously ready to design a Buddy Bear , which was unveiled and set up in Bowling Green Park in south Manhattan in May 2002 in the presence of the artist - as a gift from the city of Berlin to the city of New York . This bear has been in the residence of the German Embassy in Washington since 2004 .
