RETROFIT — The Existing and Beyond | Studio Exhibition Series.

 

Curated by Maks Dannecker.

Featuring more than 60 contributions by artists from a range of countries, the exhibitions bring together works and objects that arrived in Berlin through the postal system.

 

New constellations emerge. Contributions shift between wall and space.

 

No fixed opening hours. Not public events. The exhibitions take place in my studio in southwest Berlin.

Visits by appointment only — just drop me a message to arrange.

Constellation 01: The Envelope — Between Utility and Artwork

August 24-28, 2026

Among the mail art contributions received for RETROFIT, envelopes appear in various formats — from the small envelope to the A4 document envelope.

The envelopes show varying degrees of integration into the artistic work: from a mere means of shipping, through the envelope individualized by addressing, postage stamp, or mail art stamp, to the deliberately designed component of the artwork itself.

Constellation 01 brings together these different manifestations of the envelope between postal function and artistic design.
