Stedefreund is a project by 12 Berlin artists who share the vision of a space used as a central hub for thematic and spatial interventions, for artistic positions and statements.

The goal is the public presentation and elaboration of individual artistic work. Solo and group shows are developed around conceptual themes. Interchange and cooperation with invited colleagues, international artist groups and exhibition spaces constitute a major focus.

Stedefreund was founded by 20 artists in 2006. The first exhibition space - a prefab slab building on Rosenthaler Straße in Berlin/Mitte, grew over the course of 2 years into a significant site for interventions that were not limited to indoor spaces. In March 2009 Stedefreund moved to a new space on Dorotheenstraße, not far from the Friedrichstraße S-Bahn station.

Stedefreund is currently run by a team of three: Anne Fäser, project director, outreach and curatorial support, Dirk Schaller, office, and Astrid Busch, administration.

For 2012 Stedefreund is preparing collaborations with art spaces in Istanbul and Philadelphia.
