C/O Berlin is a non-profit foundation for photography and visual media, founded in 2000 by Stephan Erfurt, Marc Naroska and Ingo Pott and named after the postal 'care of' of its early home, the former Postfuhramt in Mitte. Since October 2014 it has occupied the renovated Amerika Haus in Charlottenburg, with around 2,500 square metres of exhibition space. There is no permanent collection: the programme rotates solo shows by internationally known photographers alongside emerging artists and prize exhibitions.
