DAS INSTITUT is an import/export agency founded in 2007 by Kerstin Brätsch and Adele Röder (born 1979 / 1980, live in New York City). Their collaboration characterizes advertising strategies to manipulate and exchange information. Comprised of paintings by Kerstin Brätsch and computer-generated images by Adele Röder, the exhibition D I WHY? is set in a context of reproduction (copy), advertisement (announcement) and branding (pattern). The trade mode of DAS INSTITUT develops products such as printed reproductions, silkscreened fabrics, posters, napkins and stickers.
