Bongout Showroom – Berlin

Bongout Showroom
In February 2008, after more than twelve years spent
working in different European cities and four years of
running a silkscreen workshop in Berlin-Friedrichshain,
Meeloo Gfeller and Anna Hellsgård will inaugurate a
new gallery showroom on 110 Torstrasse. Over the
years, Bongout has produced a significant number of
concert posters, record sleeves and limited-edition artists’
books. Gfeller and Hellsgård are also the editors
of Mollusk magazine (5 issues so far) and regularly collaborate
with contemporary artists on silkscreen prints
and publications (Damien Deroubaix, Antoine Bernhart,
Costes, Reinhard Scheibner, Claudia Aldering a.o.). They
navigate between genres, expectations, techniques, and
media, always emphasizing graphic power and ideologi
cal impact.
Accordingly, their showroom in Berlin-Mitte is a place
where contemporary art will meet graphic, chance and
underground art as well as numerous forms of sound
and visual cultures. In short, a showcase for both
Bongout’s productions and the artists with whom
Gfeller and Hellsgard have been collaborating in their
studio or whom they have published in Mollusk
(Blanquet, Charles Krafft, Les Krims etc.), as well as for
their future discoveries. Extending far beyond the confines
of contemporary art, the joint influences of
Meeloo Gfeller and Anna Hellsgård should account for
a space that sets out to build bridges but also to surprise
and provoke audiences!
