Prof. Mischa Kuball

Mischa Kuball is an Conceptual artist, has been working in public and institutional spaces since 1977.

He uses the medium of light to explore architectural spaces as well as social and political discourses and reflects on a variety of aspects from socio-cultural structures to architectural interventions, whose monumentality and architectural-historical context he emphasizes or reinterprets. In politically motivated participatory projects, public and private space merge into an indistinguishable whole and offer a platform for communication between audience, artist, work and public space.
