Various & Gould are the Berlin based duo who are almost never short of innovative and wildly imaginative works. Working closely in collaboration for over a decade, the two have been known for their outlandish pieces of art and the mediums that go along with it, whether it may be screen-printing, collages, installations, or even public performances. Various & Gould’s works are featured in the URBAN NATION 2018 exhibition, ‘UN-DERSTAND The Power of Art as a Social Architect’. […]
The artist duo Various & Gould from Berlin have been working closely together since 2005 and are known for constantly reinventing themselves. The media they use for their work range from screen prints to collages, from installations to public performances. In mostly playful ways, they address socially relevant issues such as labor, migration, gender, inequality, religion, and death. The duo is influenced by Pop Art, Dada, Cubism, and historical political poster graphics, which are combined with vibrant colors.
Both artists graduated from the Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weißensee in 2010. Their professor was Alex Jordan, a member of the legendary French graphic collective “Grapus”.
Various & Gould’s works were part of “UN-DERSTAND The Power of Art as a Social Architect” and can be seen in the current exhibition “Talking…& Other Banana Skins”.
In July 2023, Various & Gould will realize a One Wall in Staaken for the URBAN NATION. The project will be realized with the participation of young people as part of the program Stadtraum!Plus of the Stiftung Berliner Leben.
