Jakob Lena Knebl

Jakob Lena Knebl (b.1970, Baden, Austria). Her practice intersects the language of fashion with art historical argumentation; recent works have intervened with the compositions of other artists, historic and present, as well as playing with objects of contemporary European culture and otherwise.
