As Re:Surgo!, a silkscreen atelier, the Swedish / French artist duo Anna Hellsgård & Christian Gfeller create and produce artists' books, graph'zines and prints. Gfeller & Hellsgård regularly join forces with artists, illustrators and designers to create collaborative silkscreen limited editions.
Known for their highly collectible uniques or small runs, hand-printed and -bound in their Berlin atelier (Torstrasse 110), Re:Surgo! stands for high quality and challenging visuals. The books, zines and prints they produce range from contemporary art to experimental graphics and illustration. "We try to live by the rule of discrepancy, never trotting out or repeating the same ideas. We want to stay in constant becoming, experimenting across disciplines of arts in order to publish material that pushes the boundaries. We are always looking further for the next visual kick! The aesthetics and attitude of noise music, independent cinema, minimal, trash and raw vintage punk graphics inspire us as much as printed material. Edgy things done by hand, work that plays by the traditions of art and graphics but also sets out to destroy their conventions, that is very inspiring to us."
Re:Surgo! / Gfeller & Hellsgård's works have been exhibited worldwide and are in numerous museums and collections such as the MoMA NY, MoMA SF, Stanford Art Library, Harvard University's Fine Art Library, the State Museum of Berlin's Art Library, the Yale University Art Collection and many more.
The Collection of the University of Minnesota recently bought the complete silk-screened artists' book archive of Bongoût (1995-2012).
