Johanna Ackva, Judith Milz und Cécile Kobel | Current

Kurzbiografie

Johanna Ackva, Judith Milz, and Cécile Kobel work with performative practices, graphic art, and lecture performances, incorporating movement, photography, publishing, text, and installation. Their works are often conceived and developed in relation to specific places and contexts.

Johanna Ackva examines how the relationship between self and world is continuously reshaped on a material, affective, and symbolic level through (stage) pieces, texts, participatory settings, and objects. Judith Milz has published several artist books, including as co-editor of 10%. Concerning the Image Archive of a Nuclear Research Center (Spector Books, 2021). In her performative and spatial works, she explores the political within the everyday life and concepts of fictionality, where humor emerges as a form of resistance. Cécile Kobel operates as a designer at the intersection of form and content.
