Collaborative work for public art project

STUDIO MAX GERTHEL is a collaborative practice engaging in projects in the field of visual art. The studio has a extensive experience of working with artists in the realisation of research projects, exhibitions, events and public commissions. Integrating art with buildings and translating artistic visions into built work is a key competence that strengthens both the artist, the art, the architecture and has the potential of deepening public engagement.
