To mark its 20th anniversary, the Kulturbüro Zürich is inviting independent art and project spaces to curate an event at the Kulturbüro, specially developed for the anniversary.
Esther Eppstein, a long-time ally of the Kulturbüro, invites visitors to the Kulturbüro on Helvetiaplatz. During one afternoon, under the direction of editors Annina Machaz and Nils Amadeus Lange and with the participation of visitors, the ad hoc art gossip magazine “Die Grussbotschaft” (The Greeting Message) will be created at the Kulturbüro. The utensils available at the Kulturbüro will be used, such as a photocopier, scanner, glue stick, scissors, adhesive tape, Edding markers, computer, cutting machine, camera, lighting and coffee machine. The handmade original booklet will be ceremoniously presented to the Cultural Office as an anniversary gift that same evening. Madame l’Ambassadeur will give a speech in honour of the Cultural Office’s 20th anniversary. Maria Pomiansky will take the minutes. In between and at the end, there will be an anniversary single disco with DJ Sistaesta.
The original booklet “Die Grussbotschaft” will remain on display in the Kulturbüro until 2 December and can be viewed and read on request.
