WHO WE ARE

Artefact is a Berlin-based project space & gallery presenting contemporary art and collectible design. Committed to fostering a dynamic creative community, Artefact celebrates the distinct voices of both emerging and established artists and designers. By promoting exploration and experimentation, the gallery empowers collaborators to boldly articulate their perspectives, push the boundaries of design, and challenge the status quo through their artworks. As a catalyst for meaningful cultural dialogue, Artefact cultivates an environment where contemporary art and design converge.

WHAT WE DO

Dedicated to curating a select number of shows annually, Artefact provides artists with prolonged visibility and visitors with ample time to engage deeply with the exhibits.  Throughout its programming, Artefact alternates between exhibitions solely dedicated to art or design and those that seamlessly blend both disciplines, fostering innovative and stimulating exchange attained through interdisciplinarity.

In addition to its extended exhibition runs, Artefact offers unparalleled access to the artists and their creative process. Through talks, studio visits, exclusive previews, and events, the gallery cultivates an engaged connection between collectors, artists, and creators, aligned with the art market and its actors. Committed to making art and design accessible to new audiences, as well as young and experienced collectors and patrons, Artefact sensibly prices all artworks and handcrafted objects to foster the democratization of the art market. Artefact provides comprehensive communication, positioning, and marketing support to all artists, to amplify the visibility of the exhibitions and enhance their profiles. By crafting compelling content, Artefact ensures that each show attracts critical attention and fosters a broader appreciation of the artists’ work.

ANNA ROSA THOMAE, FOUNDER

Shaped by her professional and personal encounters, Artefact is the symbiosis between Anna Rosa Thomae’s passion for handcrafted design and contemporary art. Her curatorial input and direction at Artefact reflect each artist’s creative expression and spirit in line with the gallery’s main objectives to support and provide visibility. Founding Artefact in 2021 underlined her passion and vision to contribute to the vibrant and creative scene in Berlin, and to support emerging creatives with a platform that offers an alternative to a gallery motto. 

Growing up in Berlin in the 1990s, Anna Rosa Thomae spent her formative years living and working between New York, London, and Berlin. With a career of over fifteen years in the field of global cultural communications Thomae has ceaselessly nurtured the premise that valuable synergies exist between, and can emerge from, art, design, and architecture – a vision that led her to establish the reputed international cultural communications agency A R T Communication + Brand Consultancy in 2014 in Berlin. Thomae has worked with creatives across all continents, ranging from gallerists, museums, and artists to designers, architects, and more.
