Mail Art Collaboration Between Paulo Bruscky and Robert Rehfeldt at Chert Gallery in Berlin
Chert Gallery in Berlin hosted an exhibition from January 10 to March 28, 2015, featuring the mail art exchanges between Brazilian artist Paulo Bruscky and East German artist Robert Rehfeldt. Their collaborative work spanned over sixteen years, overcoming geographical and political barriers during the Cold War era. The show, reviewed by Sara Blaylock for ARTMargins Online, highlighted materially modest yet conceptually bold artworks that traversed 5,000 miles between repressive regimes. Also included was Ruth Wolf-Rehfeldt's exhibition 'Signs Fiction' at the same venue. The mail art often incorporated slogans and icons, reflecting the artists' commitment to communication across divides. This display underscored the historical significance of their transnational dialogue. The exhibition was part of ARTMargins Online's coverage in March 2015.
