Verena Kyselka

Verena Kyselka's artistic work developed in the underground art scene of the GDR in the late 1980s. Together with the artist group Exterra XX, she founded the Kunsthaus Erfurt in 1990. From 1997 to 2003, she studied Fine Arts at the Bauhaus University in Weimar. She works with video, performance, and installation.
