Cosima von Bonin

Cosima von Bonin is an artist born in Mombasa, Kenya, and based in Cologne, Germany.
Her multidisciplinary practices draw inspiration from intellectual, artistic and musical scenes, as well as from performances with befriended drag queens, she encounters and participates in. Her works mostly result from collective artistic productions questioning the position of an author and the role of social relations, identity and appropriation in art. Solo shows took place at the Moma Los Angeles, Witte De With Rotterdam, Arnolfini Bristol, Museum Ludwig Cologne, Mamco Geneva, and mumok Vienna amongst others. Some recent exhibitions include solo shows at the México City branch of House of Gaga in 2019, and at Petzel Gallery New York in 2018.
