Published on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition at Petzel Gallery, New York, September 16–October 31, 2015. CvB Singles Uptown Remix presents a survey of work created since 2000—rags, mushrooms, a “soft” fence, an enormous octopus and other curious objects from Cosima’s diverse oeuvre.

Produced on the occasion of Cosima von Bonin’s exhibition Rabbit at Rest at Ursula Bickle Stiftung, September 17–October 15, 2000.

Cosima von Bonin came of age as an artist in the 1990s amid the storied art scene in Cologne. In her practice, mixed references to art history, popular culture, and music are seen in tandem with a destabilising approach to craft and domestic activities. Many of her recent installations are populated with casts of cartoonish fabric characters–fish, whales, mushrooms, dogs, rockets–whose endearing appearances conjure a range of contradictions: delight and horror, softness and rigidity, and humour and sorrow.

Designed by Yvonne Quirmbach and Reile Hertz.

Produced on the occasion of the exhibition Cosima von Bonin, feelings at Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt, March 21–June 9, 2024.

This publication richly illustrated catalogue juxtaposes recent works never shown in Germany before with familiar pieces. Cosima von Bonin creates transformations of the everyday, drawing on numerous references from pop culture, film, fashion, music and art. In her installations, exhausted soft toys, soft fences, rockets and textile images or cartoon figures like Daffy Duck or Bambi populate the space.
