With message salon embassy, Esther Eppstein, aka Madame l’Ambassadeur, is pioneering a new, experimental format: an artist-run artist residency that operates close to the action and from within the scene. The artists spend time in the studio on Grubenstrasse or go on expeditions into Zurich’s art scene with Madame l’Ambassadeur. During their stay, the artists in residence publish a limited edition fanzine with message salon embassy.
