Kathrin Böhm
Kathrin Böhm (born 1969) is an artist who is operating in and outside of the art world. Her work is defined by collaborations and the co-production of culture and change within everyday situations, such as businesses, villages or urban neighbourhoods.

Since the mid-nineties, Böhm has expanded the terms of socially engaged practice, in which she co-produces complex organisational, spatial, visual and economic forms.
