︎ Practice
Berger & Föhr's art and design practice began through a chance meeting on a Boulder, Colorado street in 2002. Since then, they have collaborated as one entity, sharing authorship in all of their projects. Their work explores the intersection of conceptual and commercial art, with a critical lens on identity.
Drawing from their background in Swiss modernist graphic design theory, they employ an experimental, research-driven approach to create minimalist works rich in meaning and materiality. Their aim is to challenge established norms through critique, recontextualization, and subversion, presenting new perspectives that question the familiar.
Their portfolio of work is diverse, spanning drawings, paintings, prints, sculptures, brands, visual identity systems, zines, books, environmental graphics, murals, internet experiences, and physical and digital products. Berger & Föhr's hybridized approach to art and design bridges the otherwise bisected worlds of commercial and fine art.
Berger & Föhr live and work in Boulder, Colorado.
