Interaction that pushes boundaries
Art and Culture
The Alien Athena Foundation for Art is a non-profit foundation in Berlin, founded by the artist Michael Müller and the art collector Geraldine Michalke. The institution promotes exchange between different artists, disciplines and cultures, inspired by Müller’s boundary-pushing understanding of art. The foundation supports new work, organises exhibitions, issues publications and awards a performance prize with a mentoring programme.
The design system that Stan Hema developed for the Alien Athena Foundation of Art is based on Michael Müller’s artistic practice. Born in 1970, the German-British artist is known for his interdisciplinary and conceptual approaches. His work transcends the traditional boundaries of art forms and media. He often integrates philosophical, scientific and social questions into his work, focusing on continuity and complexity. Both are reflected in the foundation’s logo and the changing content of the homepage.
