Since 2012 she has been the co/founder of the Art-Label FXXXi̶s̶m̶ Toshain / Ceeh (Vienna-Sofia-St. Petersburg). The collective operates under multiple brand names that change continually according to the concepts and issues they focus on (including, among others, FUCKi̶s̶m̶TC, FEMINi̶s̶m̶TC, FXXXi̶s̶m̶TC, XXXXXi̶s̶m̶TC, SUCKi̶s̶m̶TC).

FEMINi̶s̶m̶TC champions the semantic potential of art as a means of a condensed communication and device that compresses, stores, and disseminates information, referring beyond mere representation of images. Tailored to venues and spaces, the interventions of FXXXi̶s̶m̶TC made prêt-à-porter merchandising articles and installations show an aesthetics that draws on clear, reduced stylistic devices, the post-capitalist advertising methods of the spectacle as well as the artistic-political tactics of subversive affirmation.If contemporary art at its most vital occupies the cultural borders where change takes place and it is one vehicle, by which cultural values and practice are transformed, then our Art-Label XXXXXi̶s̶m̶TC operates on exactly this cultural border.
