Alice Creischer studied Philosophy, German literature and Visual Arts in Düsseldorf. A key figure of German political art movements in the 1990s, she has produced collective projects, publications and exhibitions. She is also co-curator of such paradigmatic exhibitions Messe 2ok (1995), ExArgentina (2004) and The Potosi Principle (2010). Creischer's curatorial practice correlates with her work as an artist and theorist.
