Cosima von Bonin is one of the most influential and prolific artist working in Germany today. Making paintings, sculpture, installations, textiles, performances and films, her art is not limitied to a single medium or genre. Von Bonin´s approach is often collaborative, she has organised numeros events with fellow artist, musicains and theorists, stretching the defiition of an artist by assuming the role of curator, critic, DJ and producer.
Exhibitions: documenta 12, Kassel Germany, MOCA Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, Vienna, Berlin, Hamburg, Dublin, Madrid
