Elisa Pezza

Elisa (b. 1998, Rovereto IT) lives and works in Zurich.

Elisa Pezza’s research focuses on the affirmation of the curatorial practice as an artistic practice. In her works, curatorial characteristics are questioned and investigated through a critical approach and an artistic research, which she has developed thanks to her studies in Fine Arts at the Free University of Bozen/Bolzano and that continues to enhance through her Master in Curatorial Studies at the ZHdK in Zurich.

Her interest in performance had led Elisa to undertake a semester at the Angewandte in Vienna, where she participated at the 2020 SoHo Festival and contributed in the collaborative exhibition at Tonspur_Passage in the MuseumsQuartier titled Private Dots and Public Clouds curated by Georg Weckwerth. However, her main interest remains curatorial practice, which she has cultivated working as gallery assistant at Galleria Fonti in Naples and as curatorial assistant at Centrale Fies.

Subject of the tour

Always more spaces open up in really strange building and locations. In this tour we would not only concentrate to look at exhibitions and at the different artists’ works, but especially at the history of each space, understanding what led the owners to open a space so far from the vibrant and chic Rämistrasse.

We look forward to sharing this exciting moment with you!
