Stine Marie Jacobsen & Teobaldo Lagos Preller

Stine Marie Jacobsen is a conceptual artist working on long term participatory & educational projects. Jacobsen investigates the institutional structures of participation in law, violence and education while advocating for civil participation in art and politics. Her negotiations have led her to create artistic methods for anti-violence training, law writing, and collective intelligence sports through her projects Direct Approach (2012-), Law Shifters (2016-) and Group-Think (2020-). She studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, CalArts in Los Angeles and is a Professor in Media Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig.

Teobaldo Lagos Preller is a curator and researcher interested in fiction and contact zones in contemporary art. His work explores how aesthetic strategies intersect with subjects of the public sphere, like participation, democracy, and freedom of expression. He curated Museum of Democracy in nGbK Berlin (2021) and Law Shifters in Centro Cultural La Moneda (2023) and Museo Interactivo Mirador in Santiago (2024). He holds a PhD in Contemporary Art History and Theory (University of Barcelona), an MA in Latin American Studies, Free University of Berlin, and a BA in Communication Sciences, UAM-X, Mexico City. He teaches fashion theory and aesthetics at AMD in Berlin.

Since 2022, Jacobsen and Preller have collaborated on her Law Shifters project in Chile, inviting participants to rejudge real court cases and to write new law proposals via a large pneumatic “law machine” that collects and lobbies the public’s legal ideas.
