Dear readers and friends,

it´s our one year anniversary this month. As we´re getting emotional while christmas it´s time for a melancholy, confident reflection and acknowledgment.

During a year of hard work, discussions, experiences, coalescent team-spirit, personal encounters with individuals, artists and creatives we grew and backdated we´re proud of becoming a baseline of modern culture in Berlin.
For something with an incredibly low rate of money and an incredibly high rate of ideologies we´re a big step forward.
We took a trip to Salone del Mobile in April to relaunch our association, redesigned our logo, had a one-night-stand at Tammen Galerie, got supported by the local press and tried to establish a next level connection between culture and design, where we encourage the art-goer to break out of the passive, “white box” gallery-malaise and get hands sticky. We found the common denominator for a collective art experience - independent of your extraction, education, nation or social status - the famous ArtyFun Sessions. We want to adhere to this disposition.

First year of Mind the Box draws to a close. But a rolling stone gathers no moss! Anyone who’s ever suffered one night with us knows we´re bubbling over with ideas. Lively Mind the Box expands, refines and puts out its feelers. We´re always good for a new surprise.

Thanks to all of you very, very early birds, who realised the potential of Mind the Box and followed the sound of hushed pitter-patter of our little feet coming down the streets of Berlin. We´re getting louder and louder… we promise!

Your Boxers
Elisa, Michela, Rica, Yannis and Sabine
