bio

  • Beniamino Foschini is an art historian of modern and contemporary art with interests and practices in curating, art criticism, comics, and aesthetics, with an interpictorial and intertextual approach that intersects with lateral, non-hegemonic histories and methodologies. He received his M.A. in Florence with a thesis on Karl Hofer and his editorship of the art magazine "bildende kunst" in East Berlin after World War II, and his Ph.D. in Munich on Kazimir Malevich and visual parody.
  • He has taught at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Munich and is currently a lecturer at the Theaterakademie August Everding in the same city.
  • His essays have been published internationally in academic journals such as K (France-Italy), Zeszyty Artystyczne (Poland), and Kunstchronik (Germany), as well as in exhibition catalogs. He has written for art magazines such as Exibart, Flash Art, and Doppiozero, and is an occasional contributor to Spike and porcile.org.
  • His current interests include Rosemarie Trockel's early work, Hannah Höch's writing, and the strategies of women artists in Munich in the 1970s and 1980s.
