COSIMA VON BONIN + mumok, Vienna. Special mumok edition, produced by Agricola Due Leoni, 2018.

Cosima von Bonin (b. 1962) has been selected by mumok, Vienna, for a 2018 collaboration with Due Leoni. The German artist’s work spurns the family crest and noble olive associations of Due Leoni, and depicts, instead, a basic utilitarian funnel and a Greek Kalamata table olive, the latter, a species never utilized for olive oil. In this ironic subversion, von Bonin allies herself with the practice of post-Pop artists who grapple with the role of beauty, or what is considered refined taste, and explores the extent in which such aesthetics may be stretched.
