Thoughts & Prayers
Berger & Föhr
Opening Reception

Exhibit runs: July 2 - 31, 2026

Thoughts & Prayers is a body of work by Berger & Föhr developed between 2021 and 2023 in response to the 2021 King Soopers shooting in Boulder, Colorado, and the 2022 school shooting in Uvalde, Texas. Centered on nine of the most lethal mass shootings in the United States at the time of the work’s conception, with Boulder included as the project’s local and initiating event, the exhibition began with the repeated public refrain “thoughts and prayers,” then expanded into an inquiry into assault-style rifle access. Opening July 2 at East Window, the exhibition brings together text-based print works, cast shell casings, video, and supporting documentation to examine language, access, and consequence, and the distance between symbolic response and structural change. Throughout the creation and presentation of this work, Berger & Föhr have sought to approach the material with care, thoughtfulness, and respect for the lives lost and for the families, friends, and communities most affected by these events.

Berger & Föhr is a collaborative art and design duo driven by process, materiality, and conceptual exploration. With over two decades of shared authorship, they blend human intuition with systematic precision, pushing the boundaries between tradition and technology. Their practice embraces both control and unpredictability, creating refined, minimalist works that reflect the tension and balance of the world around us.

Content note: This exhibition contains material related to mass shootings, gun violence, and loss. Some viewers may find the work difficult or emotionally affecting.
