Statement: Caroline Koebel is a filmmaker who has exhibited in the US at Anthology Film
Archives, Los Angeles Film Forum, Other Cinema, and elsewhere, and
internationally, including in Brazil, Cuba, Ireland, Thailand, and Poland.
Transmissions of conceptual art, feminist film and literary theory, and punk
d.i.y. ethos guide her in work that embraces pleasure and desire as tactics
to displace authoritarianism, commodity culture, and the endangerment of
subjective experience. Drawing breath from experimental film pioneers such
as Germaine Dulac and Maya Deren, Koebel situates writing and curating
firmly within her creative practice, and she has recently published the
catalogue essay "Color the Shadow" on Carolee Schneemann. She holds
a BA in
Film Studies from UC Berkeley and an MFA in Visual Arts from UCSD, and
teaches such courses as Women Directors, Art Practicing the Body, and
Installation at the University at Buffalo.
