Josephine Rothäuser (b* 2001, Berlin) lives and works in Berlin. In Feb 2026 she graduated in Fine Arts at University of Arts, Berlin as Meisterschülerin of Valérie Favre.
Her work was exhibited in multiple group exhibitions, among them in Gallery Kraupa-Tuskany-Zeidler and Gallery Burster. In 2025 she took part in a Residency in the Centre Dürrenmatt in Neuchâtel, Switzerland.
2026 she was nominated for the UdK Berlin Art Award 2026.
2026/2027 she is receiving the Dorothea-Konwiarz Scholarship.

On the border of surface and pictorial body, based in a material, reactive work system, Josephine uses a hybrid of textile and painting to hint on symtoms of willfull interventions, reparation and conserving conditions of those.
