Kathrin Böhm

Kathrin Böhm (b. Bamberg, Germany, lives in London and Höfen) works across interdependent realms of cultural production, including the art world. Her research, writing, organising and constructing support 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 the trans-local arts organisation Myvillages and has initiated cultural enterprise Company Drinks. As a researcher, she contributes to the wider topics of the New Economy, Usership of Art and the Production of Public Space. She 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” her work to date, in order to make “fertiliser” for evolving long-term infrastructures such as The Centre for Plausible Economies c/o Company Drinks and Myvillages’ Rural School of Economics. Recent contributions to art events and exhibitions include Municipal Kitchens, Die neue Gesellschaft für bildende Kunst (nGbK), Berlin (2024), Artists and Farmers, Les Abbatoirs, Toulouse (2023), Kassels’ Rural Undercurrents for lumbung, documenta fifteen, Kassel (2022), and Compost at The Showroom, London (2022). Co-edited publications include Icebergian Economies of Contemporary Art (2020), The Rural (2019), Learn to Act (2017), and The International Village Show (2015).
