About:
DIENSTGEBÄUDE is an artist-run space based in Zurich (Switzerland) and sees itself as an independent platform
for artists and curators. Initiated in 2008 in a former service building of the swiss train company (SBB), Andreas
Marti and his small team began to organize exhibitions in a 200 m2 large exhibition space with mostly Zurich based
artists and curated guest projects in its program. In 2011 the space moved to another 230 m2 large space with
three exhibition spaces (PS1 140m2, PS2 70m2, PS3 20m2) and two artist studios. The focus lies on young emerging
and mid-career artists with a conceptual approach, mostly Switzerland based. In the course of time, more and
more international positions had been added to the program. DIENSTGEBÄUDE does not have a pre-defined list
of artists. The selected artists are invited to a single solo or group exhibition. All the exhibitions are temporary
collaborations. In 2011 the space began to produce in collaboration with selected artists a series of art editions,
edited by DIENSTGEBÄUDE. So far, more than 20 artists produced editions especially for DIENSTGEBÄUDE.
DIENSTGEBÄUDE has ended its curatorial programme after 15 years and 123 exhibitions. Beside the curated exhibitions, several exchange projects, projects from abroad by invitation from curators or other spaces have been realized. DIENSTGEBÄUDE had been selected for participating in “promotion booths” at art fairs like Platform Projects (Athens, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014), IAF International Art Fair
(Warsaw, 2017, 2016), Kunst Zürich (2017, 2016, 2015, 2013, 2012, 2011), Supermarket (Stockholm, 2014, 2012)
and recently Rotterdam Contemporary (2017), POPPOSITIONS (Bruxelles, 2018, 2017), SWAB (Barcelona 2017) and The Others (Torino, 2018, 2017).
In 2018/19 DIENSTGEBÄUDE was collaborating with INDEX Freiraum Stipendium, Wort und Wirkung (www.wortundwirkung.ch) and offered a two month residency studio space for artists and curators.
Andreas Marti (>>>>> www.andreasmarti.ch) is the initiator and project leader of DIENSTGEBÄUDE Art Space and collaborates with many other artists an curators.
