In 2020 message salon embassy is celebrating its five-year anniversary: a varied programme with former and current artists in residence was put together and as a highlight in August, Madame l’Ambassadeur planned to bring all former message salon embassy residents and personalities from Zurich’s cultural life to one table, to a clandestine artists’ conference. But Covid-19 upset all plans, the anniversary festival had to be cancelled. Now Madame l’Ambassadeur is showing the installation “The Non Conference Papers” as a shrunken version of the project in the shop window gallery “Die Diele”. All previous message salon embassy residents sent a poster from the lockdown as their contribution to the “non held conference”. A poster wall brings together 17 international artists who are connected through Madame l’Ambassadeur and their stay at the message salon embassy in Zurich.

The exhibition in the shop window of the art space “Die Diele” is accessible around the clock. Due to the current Covid-19 situation, there will be no vernissage or public events. However, Madame l’Ambassadeur will receive visitors for a private audience in the message salon embassy office in front of the shop window. Esther Eppstein will talk about the idea of message salon embassy, show publications and souvenirs, including new zines by Madame l’Ambassadeur, created after last year’s tour of Europe to the cities of residence of the former message salon embassy Zürich Nord Residents and a longer stay in London. To round off the event, we will have a drink in a bar in Langstrassenquartier.

Five years of message salon embassy
After the end of Perla-Mode and the closure of the exhibition space message salon, Esther Eppstein aka Madame l’Ambassadeur 2015 launched the art project message salon embassy in an interim location on Grubenstrasse in Zurich-Binz. Since then, 17 international artists were invited to projects of the artist-run-residence in Zurich: at the message salon embassy Zürich Nord (2017/18), which was an art on building assignment by the cooperative “Mehr als wohnen”, at the 25hours Hotel Langstrasse (2017) and in collaboration with the art space “Die Diele”  (2019/2020).

Madame l’Ambassadeur would like to thank Maria Pomiansky, Valentina Stieger, Moe Arnold, Benjamin Sommerhalder and Livio Baumgartner (Die Diele) for their support and for making this exhibition possible. Thanks also go to Stadt Zürich Kultur for their financial support.
