This event has ended.

“Dead Letter Office” is an exhibition of works by five artists, each invited by Anna-Sophie Berger (b. 1989, Vienna, AT). While Berger met most of these artists in Vienna, the grouping is not characterized by the mutual locality of the city, but rather by a shared understanding of the existentialism of daily life.

“Dead Letter Office” explores motifs of an individual’s struggle for agency within a political or social environment of stress where it seems strangely naive to be productive or optimistic. Some objects in the show are distressed, while some refer to the body’s absence. Some works refer to doubt, and some to the natural deconstruction and generation of life. Despite the apparent morbidity within the work, each is an attempt to defy resignation, an attempt at freedom.
