“Friends and Lovers in Underground” is a loose group of international artists that has emerged from the Hamburg art and music scene and is a constantly changing exhibition project that has already visited art spaces in Hamburg and Jesteburg this year.
The Zurich and Hamburg art scenes have been linked by numerous art collaborations for many years. Friends and Lovers in Underground celebrates artistic friendship, discourse and collaboration within the network. For the current exhibition in Zurich, the group has also invited local artist friends to be represented with a work of art or a performance.
The exhibition “All My Clean Friends and Lovers” shows art-historical works in dialogue with contemporary positions, accompanied by a selection of rarely seen treasures from the artists’ book library. The group has access to loans from artists and art collections. In the exhibition at Perla-Mode, art by unknown and well-known, living and deceased artists is shown in an interplay and juxtaposition, in a mixture of collection and installation.
“All My Clean Friends and Lovers’” is a wild, week-long show with art, performance, art collection, library, reading, drink, talk, music and show with guests and friends from Hamburg, Zurich and elsewhere.
