Cosima von Bonin: Roger and Out

by Cosima von Bonin (Artist), Manfred Hermes (Contributor), Bennett Simpson (Contributor)

Over the last 15 years, Cosima von Bonin has produced sculpture, photography, textile “paintings,” installation, performance, film, video and music--often combined in large installations. This generous survey addresses ideas of play, indoctrination, structure, improvisation, cultural and gender representations, identity and self-reflection--with both absurdity and humor.

Bonin is an artist who produces a body of work that makes a provocative and elusive statement about artistic identity and sovereignty, addressing the structures and power of social relations and art-historical lineages. My favourites of her works are Von Oben 2003, So far we're not 2006, and Schmollen Woman Lieges 2003.
