Even from afar, A-Z Space, an exhibition space founded in 2019 by Anja Lutz, catches everyone’s eye: the yellow-painted bench next to the entrance, the green-and-yellow curtain with “Flipper” lettering hanging inside, and the neon-yellow floor is no less restrained in its form. In case you haven’t noticed, yellow seems to be a thing here. So it’s no surprise that the first edition of the temporary A-Z “Super Collective Market” is entirely dedicated to the color itself. The opening will take place this Saturday (26.08.2023): Products will be on display and for sale, including limited edition prints, books, textiles and a kit to create your own – of course – yellow pigments. A performance of the interactive game “Fishing for Yellow” by Hyesu Son, drinks, snacks and music all await you. Until the end of October 2023, you can drop by the first edition of the pop-up and participate in workshops and other events initiated by the A-Z Collective: at the “Banana Museum: Sorry to See You Split So Soon” talk, Anna Broujean will tell you about the International Banana Museum in Mecca (California), which exhibits over 25,000 objects related to the banana. She’ll show you the strangest banana memorabilia and explore why such initiatives are so important for preserving design relics. On 7.10. you can learn more about butter with April Gertler and then learn how to make your own – a workshop suitable for young and old. So dress in yellow and look forward to color-coordinated drinks and workshops!
