Backstage

A glimpse behind the scenes of DAS ESSZIMMER – space for art+

Mission

DAS ESSZIMMER – space for art+ is an artist-run, off- and non-profit space, that was initiated in October 2011 by the Swiss artist Sibylle Feucht.

We understand exhibiting art as an adventure and departure to the unknown, questioning conventions and perceptions. – We invite you to join us on this exciting journey.

In an intimate setting we present contemporary, international positions and regularly collaborate with curators and other exhibition spaces world wide.

Fostering exchange between artists and visitors as well as between local, national and international artistic positions, is a major concern in our work. In addition to the artistic, formal aspects of Art, we always see and challenge the social and political dimensions of Art, their analysis and reflections. – DAS ESSZIMMER offers the physical and mental space for this discourse.

Service

We support you in your purchase decisions, organize and arrange studio visits with artists from our network.
