Artefact.Berlin

Das sagt die Location:

Artefact.Berlin is a new gallery space in Berlin Schöneberg prefiguring itself as an extension and complement to Anna Rosa Thomae’s already reputed international cultural communications agency A R T Communication + Brand Consultancy, established in 2014. Through a series of curated art and design exhibitions, the project is rooted in Thomae’s ongoing commitment to supporting, presenting, and promoting art, design, and architecture as intrinsically connected disciplines, all-the-while pursuing her investigation into the manifold means to expand the horizons of understanding and fruition of art, and culture, as both concept and object.

The name of the gallery itself, artefact, is the entry point into the vision behind it. Derived from the Latin terms arte, or with skill, and factum, thing made or object, it acts as bridge between two worlds: the craft and the object, the way of making and the tangible iteration – ultimately, the elemental bond between the art and the design. Artefact.Berlin’s philosophy is based on opening a dialogue, connecting the past and the future, the everyday object and the work of art, the architectural space and the space of living – enhancing one by virtue of the other – experimenting with and reinterpreting the gallery concept and the collecting experience. With a rich program of carefully selected exhibitions focusing on art and design, the new space stands as an important reference point for art and design collectors, enthusiasts, and professionals worldwide.
