Josephine Meckseper (born 1964) is a German artist, active mainly in New York City.[1] Her large-scale installations and films have been exhibited in various international biennials and museum shows worldwide.[citation needed]
Life and education
Meckseper studied at Berlin University of the Arts in Germany from 1986–1990, and completed her MFA at the California Institute of the Arts in 1992,[2] where she was influenced by artists Michael Asher and Charles Gaines, filmmaker Thom Andersen and literary critic and cultural theorist Sylvère Lotringer.[3]
Work
Between 1994 and 2000, she was editor of four issues of FAT magazine.[4] Her questions as a conceptual artist include power politics and political ideas as commodities. In 2007 she spoke in Der Spiegel about the position of women in the art scene.[5]
In 2012, her public art project Manhattan Oil Project, commissioned by the Art Production Fund, was installed on the corner of 46th Street and 8th Avenue in New York City.[6] In 2022, she received a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship.[7]
