House of Kunst

House of Kunst is Kunstverein’s new selling platform for artist editions, original artworks, prototypes, studio leftovers, research byproducts, not-quite-artworks, publications, experiments, merch and more.

Inspired by Forerunner (collaborative art practice founded by Tom Watt, Tanad Aaron and Andreas Kindler von Knobloch) and their practical desire to find homes not only for their commissioned work but also for ‘the rest’ of what gets produced in the course of an artistic studio practice, House of Kunst is a platform for acquisitions of all kinds.

House of Kunst offers artworks (etc) by some of the artists with whom Kunstverein Aughrim has collaborated to date. These include: Forerunner, Isadora Epstein, Rich Gilligan, Áine Mac Giolla Bhríde, Sonia Shiel, Deirdre O’Mahony, Bassam Issa Al-Sabah, Sarah Browne, Marielle MacLeman, Eslam Abd El Salam, Marie Farrington, and Ruth E Lyons among others.

The identity centres around a lush typographic mark, and is celebrated in coloured ribbon, stamps, modular signage panels and packaging.
