KUNSTrePUBLIK is a registered non-profit oganization and artist collective founded by 5 individual artists, Matthias Einhoff, Philip Horst, Markus Lohmann, Harry Sachs and Daniel Seiple. 

The group’s formation was precipitated by their initial project, Skulpturenpark Berlin_Zentrum, a non-traditional exhibition venue on 62 vacant lots of downtown real estate, on what was formerly the “death strip” within the Berlin Wall. 
Since 2006, the group has conceived and realized many site-specific exhibitions, which have pulled from their extensive research of the site’s history and its present in-between status. Through their activities in the park, the group’s members have gone on to engage in other constellations and community-based activities, including education, urban planning, art making and curation. 

In 2008, the group was invited by the city’s regional office to submit a proposal for developing a large state-owned tract of the park. The proposal spotlighted the value of open space, and although it did not win the contest, it prompted the committee to re-start and conduct an urban survey of the greater territory. 

The group has also hosted universities and traveled to other nations, including Spain, Pakistan, England and the United States, to conduct workshops for alternative and subversive strategies in public art. 

The organization relies on private donations, specific project grants, and collaborations with other institutions in order to fund its program. The members of KUNSTrePUBLIK continue to work both collaboratively and independently, as artists, curators, educators, organizers and urban planners, as each invitation, site or situation demands.
