AdBK graduate Jonas Höschl is part of the ANTIFASCISM: NOW project, which kicks off at Lothringer 13 Halle in Munich and culminates in an exhibition at the Ludwig Forum Aachen that brings all chapters together.
Jonas Höschl (born 1995, Regensburg) studied graphic design/communication design with Prof. Holger Felten and Prof. Friederike Girst and photography with Prof. Jürgen Teller from 2015 to 2020.
Jonas Höschl is a conceptual artist and photographer. For his artistic work, which encompasses printmaking, sound, video, and installation, he has received the Paula Modersohn-Becker Art Prize, the Bavarian Art Promotion Prize for Fine Arts, and the German Photobook Prize, among others. He has published the art books Fade Away Medley (Das Wetter), Politik von Medienbildern (Hatje Cantz), and most recently 80 Portraits: 73 Men, 7 Women (Verlag für moderne Kunst).
In his print and video works, he questions the identity-forming potential of political systems. Using regional political scandals and European conflicts as examples, he highlights the alienation from unifying ideals. Jonas Höschl appropriates the sometimes historical visual languages of different ideologies in order to expose propagandistic manipulation. Through recontextualization, he refers to the referentiality of contemporary documents.
Lothringer 13 Halle and the Goethe-Institut present ANTIFASCISM: NOW., the launch of a multi-year, transnational project dedicated to anti-fascist cultural work in the present day. In collaboration with partner institutions in Germany and (South) Eastern Europe, the project will grow in several chapters until 2028. The decentralized and modular program is developed from local perspectives and unfolds in exhibitions, multisensory symposia, residencies, educational programs, and a series of site-specific public formats.
The aim of the project is to establish a transnational forum in which anti-fascism becomes a central responsibility of democratic societies based on the premise that DEMOCRATIC (CULTURAL) WORK IS ANTI-FASCIST WORK.
