In 2004 he held a substitute professorship at the State University for Design Karlsruhe , department of media art, and from 2005 to 2008 a regular professorship, where he founded the '1A18' format with students.

Mischa Kuball has been realizing a series of installations in public space under the title “public preposition” since 2009: Venice 2009, Marfa 2009, Toronto 2011, Bern 2011, Wolfsburg 2012, Jerusalem 2012, Katowice 2012, Christchurch 2012. The “public prepositions” reflect Mischa Kuball's ongoing interest in an artistic exploration of abstract forms and symbolic communication. "Preposition" here refers to the syntactic function of the preposition and describes a middle position for the works between the historically and socially connoted places and the artistic intervention.

In 2013, Kuball and the American artist Anthony McCall showed the light installation El-Aleph in the Faena Arts Center in the Puerto Madero district of Buenos Aires in Argentina . In 2015 he was elected to the North Rhine-Westphalian Academy of Sciences and Arts .

From November 20, 2016 to April 30, 2017 the Kirchner Museum Davos will be showing his room installation “Light on Kirchner”, in which he uses his artistic means to deal with the works of the painter Ernst Ludwig Kirchner .
