Life
Cosima von Bonin's father was a shipping manager in the cement industry. In 1967 the family moved to Salzburg. From 1988 she studied for a year with Werner Büttner in Hamburg, "but her actual education, as she says, she received from the Walther König bookstore " in Cologne.
Von Bonin has been married to the German artist Michael Krebber since 1992 , whom she met through Martin Kippenberger , whose assistant Krebber was at the time.
Von Bonin has been in contact with the German musician Dirk von Lowtzow since 2000 and often works with him. So now and then there are interactions between von Bonin's work and that of Lowtzows, for example when von Bonin names one of her exhibitions after the Tocotronic song We Are Many . Von Lowtzow writes press releases for von Bonin's exhibitions.
Since around 2009, von Bonin has also been working with the German musician Moritz von Oswald . Among other things, von Bonin is responsible for the cover artwork of his three albums released on the Honest Jon's label and uses his music in their exhibitions.
Her recent exhibitions The Fatigue Empire and The Lazy Susan Series are to be understood as praise for exhaustion in a society that is characterized by pressure to perform.
Cosima von Bonin mentions the following influences and artists she values: Marcel Broodthaers , André Cadere , Cady Noland , Isa Genzken , Michael Clark, Jacques Tati , George A. Romero .
Von Bonin has a teaching position at the Hamburg University of Fine Arts , after previously holding guest professorships there.
