BackgroundBerliner Festspiele is one of the largest cultural institutions in
Berlin. All year round, they host a multitude of festivals, exhibitions and individual events in two houses – the Haus der Berliner Festspiele and the Gropius Bau.
Our main focus when developing and refining their identity was to give individual freedom to each single festival / event while still maintaining the umbrella brand’s overall visual language.

Background
The New Infinity examined the planetariums and full dome as places for art – as galleries of the future –inviting artists like David OReilly, Fatima Al Qadiri, Metahaven, Robert Lippok & Lucas Gutierrez and many more to experiment with the unusual shape. The planetary format started out in Kreuzberg Berlin, moved on to Hamburg and afterwards toured the world.
As part of our publication series for Immersion/Berliner Festspiele we designed the exhibition catalogue for the project.

As a partner organisation of the Times Museum in Guangdong, China, TAC focuses on the artistic relation between Asian and European contemporary art.

Background
Tarabya Cultural Academy is a residency program for artists from various disciplines. The aim is to make a contribution to intercultural exchange. The stay at Tarabya is intended to provide residents with inspiration and the opportunity to develop their work further. On the occasion of their 60th anniversary the Tarabya team organised a 30-day festival of exhibitions, art events, talks and discussions all over Germany for which we developed the visual identity. 
In order to represent the institution’s versatile approach we developed a set of graphic elements, letterings, abstract photo­graphs and illustrations which can be easily adapted and individually arranged on all types of media.

Background
The first job we’ve ever been hired for in Berlin was designing the identity for an exhibition at Kunstraum Kreuzberg Bethanien – a truly historical place hosting thematic exhibitions on socio-cultural developments reprocessed by contemporary artists. Ever since, the art space has played an important role in our lives which is why designing their corporate design and website became a matter of the heart for us.

Background
No compromise. Daniel Rode is a conceptual artist who is particularly well-known for his large-scale works showing short claims without meaningful separations, his light installations and repetitive serial drawings. His art is uncompromising and strictly straight forward. ”Art asks questions and gives no answers, its intention must be open and maybe even unclear.“ When creating the concept for his monograph ”Again and Again“ we strictly followed his conceptual approach, defining very rigid typesetting rules which leave no room for design-related decisions and adjustments. The only way is strictly forward or to best describe it in Daniel Rode’s words: ”I want to move forward.“

Background
Religious and further normative practices structuring and regulating public and private life often involve objects of daily use. The exhibition “Faith travels by Streetcar” focuses on the rules, convictions and conventions of the monotheistic religions – Judaism, Islam and Christianity – as well as on secular beliefs through objects of daily use.
Referring to the general topic of the exhibition we developed a publication with a religious look and in the same time clean and straight layout showing the objects in a neutral and almost standardised way. Since the exhibition is about everyday objects, we have included a few “objects” (photographs) in the cover that can be individually selected or exchanged.

LOOM – Interweaving the Arts in Europe is aiming to manifest artistic initiatives of the European Alliance of Academies – a transnational network that advocates for the freedom of the arts. The platform strengthens the network, its visibility and provides a basis for intensified transnational projects and artistic collaboration, creation and communication. For the website the main task was to create a visual concept that is experimental and reflects the creativity of the arts and in the same time is user-friendly, barrierefree and with a clear structure.

On the occasion of the exhibition Mutant Passages, the first museum publication on the work of Monira Al Qadiri is now being issued. In addition to featuring documentation on her KUB exhibition and her newly created works, the catalogue also sheds light on numerous older projects by the artist, thus offering a comprehensive overview of her diverse oeuvre for the first time. In reflective colors, the large-scale hardcover book evokes the radiance of Al Qadiri’s expansive dazzling sculptures. Scholarly and literary texts by Jana Baumann, Shumon Basar, Amal Khalaf and Murtaza Vali offer new incisive perspectives into Al Qadiri’s work.

Background
After 2 years of Covid-19 pandemic people were desperate to meet and explore the real world. End of 2021 the Berliner Festspiele transformed the Congress Centre Berlin (ICC) into a space for encounters and a vessel to other worlds. The project invited visitors to freely explore the architectural icon, which was open for ten days, in interaction with performances, circus arts, music, films, and installations.
