The Dieselwall artist competition, which has already been held in several cities by fashion company Diesel, was also launched in Zurich this year. The prize was a huge wall at the Zig-Tag restaurant in Zurich's Hardau district, for which the artists had to submit design proposals. The winner out of 380 international entries was 41-year-old Andreas Marti from Zurich. The jury consisted of Peter Lämmlin, Alltagagentur St. Gallen, Daniela Hardmeier, art historian, Museum zur Allerheiligen in Schaffhausen, Daniel Strolz, architect and designer, Amt für Hochbauten der Stadt Zürich, and Lorenz Gianfreda, graphic designer, Büro Destruct, Bern. According to the jury, the winning project "Bag Bellow Break" stood out for its simplicity and connection to the location. The competition is supported by the City of Zurich, which had coordinated the project with the conversion of the property. City Councillor Martelli welcomes the new art in public spaces.
