25hours Hotel Langstrasse
Artist in Hotel Residence is curated by Esther Eppstein, an artist based in Zurich. Esther Eppstein is known in the Zurich art scene for her 30 years of work with the art project message salon. She has received several awards for her artistic and curatorial practice, including the Grand Prix Meret Oppenheim 2021, the Swiss Federal Art Award.
Like every summer, two international artists are invited to take part in a vibrant residency. They stay at the hotel and transform the Atelier into their personal studio space.
To wrap things up, Open Studio events offer a glimpse behind the scenes. Visitors are welcome to drop by, discover the artworks created during the residency, meet the artists, and enjoy cheesecake, snacks, and a glass of bubbly.
In collaboration with Omanut, Zurich
Open Studio: Saturday, 22 August, 4–7pm
Susanna Koberle, cultural journalist and member of the Omanut board, about the Artist in Hotel Residence:
“The association Omanut – Hebrew for ‘art’– is a Swiss forum for Jewish art and culture and also welcomes a non-Jewish audience. This year, Omanut is celebrating its 85th anniversary. In 2020, Omanut hosted a talk with the Israeli artist Hilla Toony Navok in Zurich to mark the occasion of her first exhibition in Switzerland. She gave us an insight into her multimedia artistic practice and her critical and humorous view of urban space. Hilla Toony Navok explores the interaction of city dwellers with their surroundings.
When Esther Eppstein invited Omanut to propose an artist for the hotel’s residency programme, the board considered it important to build on and strengthen an existing connection. The 25hours Hotel and the vibrant Langstrasse neighbourhood will provide an inspirational setting for Hilla Toony Navok’s artistic approach.”
