Throughout the last 25 years, even before the non-profit was founded, the artists under the name Starship had been running art-spaces, conceived and realized exhibitions, and acted as an artistic group by conceiving joint projects, often in collaboration with others. Invited by various institutions to show a practice mainly founded in the production of a magazine – the Berlin based art magazine STARSHIP, this has resulted in temporary installations inside and outside of institutions, lead by the effort to find an artistic and abstract form for collaboration, and a visual language how to address the production of space with artistic means.

Starship Projects thus answers to invitations mostly by institutions, but also works in opening up possibilities for other artists by conceiving and curating exhibitions.
This is based in the individual practice of the artists.

Ariane Mueller is a visual artist, writer, and urbanist with 20 years of working practice for the UN agency UN-HABITAT in the field of sustainable urban development.
Besides of her international career as an individual artist, she worked in collaborations to develop artistic projects – with Linda Bilda to found and establish Artfan, an influential magazine in the early 1990ies in Vienna, with Deborah Schamoni to develop Kino Raum 3, an art space for moving images, and with Verena Kathrein on the research project Then I would like to make a happy end for once, on comedy and feminism, photography and drawing.
