Like dancing, she creates fragmented narratives that explore identity, loneliness, human desire, and emotional chaos, always lust-filled, urgent, and charged with wit. Her spaces invite introspection, offering a place for contemplation and relaxation, where borders dissolve into a sense of permanent vacation.</div><div>Knowing her personally, I see her flowy, dynamic approach as a vibrant match for diverse contexts, both inside the 25h hotel Langstrasse and exhibiting inside the mobile exhibition space ice cream project.“ <i>Amos Angeles, co-founder and curator of ice cream project </i></div><div><br></div><div><b>Xinyu Han, Shanghai</b></div><div>21 July–3 August 2025, in collaboration with Modern Animals Gallery, Zurich</div><div><br></div><div>„We discovered Xinyu Han when we were looking at graduation works from the painting class at the Slade School in London. Xinyu's work stands out for its cinematographic quality. Scenes of the night, passing cars, people in a single moment. The images attract those who have seen the night, but not only. They tell us something about existence, about the now. A conversation quickly ensued, which led to a solo exhibition at our gallery. Thanks to the residency at the 25 hours Hotel Langstrasse, we are able to continue this dialogue in Zurich, which Xinyu and we are incredibly happy about. We will dive into the Zurich art scene with her and see where it takes us.“ <i>David Iselin, co-owner of Modern Animals Gallery </i></div><div><br></div><div><b>Alisa Pidverbna and Andrii Nekrakha, Kharkiv, currently based in Lucerne</b></div><div>4–17 August 2025, in collaboration with Marina Belobrovaja, artist and filmmaker, Zurich</div><div><br></div><div>„The artists Andrii Nekraha and Alisa Pidverbna, both 20 years old, come from Kharkiv, Ukraine. Since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, they have been living in Europe and surviving on their art. Their predominantly painterly works are characterised by personal experiences from this time and exemplify the reality of an entire generation of young people from Ukraine. The artist residency in the 25hours Hotel Langstrasse offers them the wonderful opportunity to network with the Zurich art scene and escape their challenging everyday lives for a while.“ <i>Marina Belobrovaja </i></div><div><br></div><div><b>Roy Menachem Markovich, Tel Aviv</b></div><div>18–31 August, 2025, in collaboration with message salon embassy, Zurich</div><div><br></div><div>"Artist in Hotel Residence is a wonderful opportunity for me to cultivate long-standing artistic friendships and invite artists to return to Zurich. The Israeli artist Roy Menachem Markovich has already shown his profound and humorous videos, sculptures and installations in several exhibitions and performances in the city, including at the message salon art space in the legendary Perla-Mode on Langstrasse in 2012. During his current artist residency, the multimedia artist finds the material to create art from waste such as cardboard, old bread, scraps of paper, electronic waste or pieces of wood and metal in the treasure trove around and on Langstrasse. On the occasion of his residency at the 25hours Hotel Langstrasse, Roy Menachem Markovich is producing an exclusive new fanzine, which will be available at the Open Studio in the hotel.“ <i>Esther Eppstein, founder of message salon embassy </i></div></div><div><br></div><div>Artist in Hotel Residence</div><div>25hours Hotel Langstrasse, Langstrasse 150, 8004 Zurich</div><div><a href="https://25hours-hotels.com/">https://25hours-hotels.com/</a></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
