Today is your chance to visit the message salon for what may be the last time before the building is demolished. Get yourself a souvenir!
Since opening at Rigiplatz in 2001, the message salon exhibition space has been complemented by the message salon shop and videoclub, a shop selling art, publications, editions and documentation by artists associated with message salon. The shop also features a VHS video station and a unique collection of art videos, debut films and graduation films by artists from Zurich.
Esther Eppstein’s original albums, with photos of all exhibitions, video documentaries about performances and shows at Rigiplatz 2001-2005, as well as documentaries, media reports and publications about the history of the message salon since 1996, are available for viewing.
Today, the message salon shop is closing down, and Esther Eppstein invites you to a shopping spree!
There are discounts on all products, books, records, CDs, postcards, fanzines, T-shirts and original art. The 1998 publication “message salon, Ankerstrasse 6” (graphics by Alexis Saile, photography by Manuela Ledernmann, VHS video by Esther Eppstein) and other individual items are even being sold off at a 50% discount!
Original art by Andrea Muheim, J-C. Freymond-Guth, Mark Divo, Davix, Sandi Kozjek, Selina Trepp, David Chieppo, Rockmaster K., Ehfa Hiltbrunner, biopop, Antonio Pate, Saskja Rosset, Yoki v. de Cream, Marianne Engel, Pascal Häusermann, Bettina Browar, Diego Fernandez, Alexis Saile and more.
Meanwhile, the bar will be open in the exhibition space, with live music from Alexis Saile and the fresh Zurich band “l’ami” (Ajana Calugar and Michal Holy). After closing time, DJ Sistaesta will play a few singles for a wistful farewell.
