Backrooms is a programme of events, readings, performances, screenings, concerts and other artistic formats in the Löwenbräu building in Zürich, Switzerland, organized by Otto Bonnen. The Löwenbräukunst offers various architectural and social spaces that Backrooms engages with. The current exhibition in the basement of Kunsthalle Zürich is titled ‘Files’ and features ring binders by the artists Daniel Dawson, Stefano Faoro, Gritli Faulhaber, Peter Fend, Ada Friedman, Dani Leder, Maggie Lee, Megan Plunkett, Kate Sansom, Jen Shear, Richard Sides, Lise Soskolne, and Adelhyd van Bender. In this video, Otto Bonnen talks about the concept of the 'Backrooms' project and the current exhibition, and shows as an example the ring binder of the artist Maggie Lee, who had a solo exhibition at the Kunsthalle Zürich this spring. After the opening, the space will be open by appointment only.
Backrooms: Files / Kunsthalle Zürich. Vernissage, September 27, 2024.
