Johanna Strobel is an interdisciplinary artist living and working in Munich and New York City. Based on free flowing and rhizomatic research and speculation and informed by her background in Information Science and Mathematics, Johanna’s work explores unwieldy concepts like language, perception of time and space, as well as the possibilities of creation, attribution or suspension of meaning, the construction of subjectivity and objecthood, and their everyday perception and precipitation in mundane life. Johanna processes her ideas logically through methods like repetition, recursion and modularity, and associatively through humor and personal memories. Working in a variety of media including video, installation, painting and sculpture, one starting point can lead to multiple outcomes and works in different forms, which share ideas, aesthetics, or pictorial elements.
