Kathrin Böhm
Biography
Kathrin Böhm works as an artist and organizer across interdependent realms of cultural production, including the art world. Her research, writing, organizing and constructing supports collective forms of (re-)producing public space, taking back the economy for more-than-capitalist futures, and enabling a new trans-localism that acknowledges the rural.
Kathrin is a co-founder of public works, the trans-local arts organization Myvillages (since 2003) and has initiated cultural enterprise Company Drinks (2014). As a researcher she contributes to the wider topics of New Economy, Usership of Art and the Production of Public Space, and currently holds an art professorship at the Economics Department at Alanus University. In 2020 Kathrin stopped initiating new projects and engaged in a process of ‘composting’ of her work to date, in order to make ‘fertilizer’ for evolving long-term infrastructures she is involved with, such such as The Centre for Plausible Economies c/o Company Drinks and Myvillages’ Rural School of Economics.
