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 established artists through a two hours walk.
You will be guided by Elisa Pezza, Master student in Curatorial Studies at the ZHdK.
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 production assistant for Centrale Fies.
