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 sinokultur, Zurich
Open Studio: Saturday, 11 July, 4–7pm
Xinyi Fox Hu’s ceramics unfold like fragments of an imagined world — fairylike forms, organic bodies, and creatures that seem to grow between reality and myth. Her works read like chapters of an evolving story, where species adapt to their own environments and act as gentle narrators of an unfamiliar, living cosmos.

Open Studio: Saturday, 22 August, 4–7pm
Hilla Toony Navok turns the everyday cityscape into a stage of humor, critique, and sharp observation — tracing how people move, adapt, and improvise within urban space. Rooted in an ongoing dialogue with Omanut and her first Zurich exhibition, her practice now meets the vibrant rhythms of Langstrasse, where the residency offers new material for her keen, playful gaze.
