San Keller is one of the first message salon artists and lived in the caravan at the “message salon Ferienkolonie” in Appenzell in 1998.
As part of the exhibition “Acts of Friendship” at the Migros Museum, Esther Eppstein invites her long-time artist friend San Keller to the caravan to reflect on message salon, friendship, art and photo albums. At the salon table in the caravan, they talk and philosophise about life as an artist, art careers, the nineties, DIY, zeitgeist, the art world … The discussion will be moderated by Nadia Schneider Willen, curator at the Migros Museum and visitor to the message salon caravan when it was stationed on Pfingstweidstrasse in 1999. The conversation in the caravan will be broadcast live on Radio GDS.FM and in the Migros Museum for visitors in front of the caravan and on the Löwenbräu ramp. The radio programme can also be received via the Internet at home or on the move on a smartphone.
Afterwards, Esther Eppstein aka DJ Sistaesta will play the unique caravan set with records from the collection in the message salon caravan, live on the ramp at Löwenbräu and broadcast on Radio GDS.FM.
