With message salon embassy, Esther Eppstein is opening up a new, experimental format, an “artist-run artist residency’” that operates close to the action and out of the scene.
The artists in residence spend time in the studio in Grubenstrasse or go on expeditions into the Zurich art scene with Madame l’Ambassadeur. During their stay, message salon embassy publishes a fanzine with the artists in residence.
