ART WALKS – With Elisa Pezza

Once again, Zurich Art Weekend is excited to present its Art Walks on the occasion of Zurich Art November 2022. Get to know Zurich’s thriving art scene following the footsteps of young curators and art mediators. You will visit selected art venues and discover upcoming and/or established artists through a two hours walk.

From Carl Andre to younger international artists, we will explore together four galleries which occupy an interesting space in the Zürich's art scene. We will start our tour at Gallery Weiss Falk which since 2016 presents young and upcoming Swiss and international artists with outstanding exhibitions. Next, we will move towards the most fluorescent street in the Zürich’s art scene: Rämistrasse, where the viewers would be introduced to a solo exhibition of the New Yorker painter Amy Feldeman at Galerie Eva Presenhuber. Thirdly, we will move to visit one of the newest gallery in the city: Galerie Tschudi where the visitors would have the possibility to discover the first group show in the new space with well-esablished artists such as Carl Andre and Petra Wunderlich. The tour would conclude on the last floor of a very unique building with a solo exhibition by Shai Azoulay at Sommer Salon.

Guide: 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.
