Jean Etienne A. at the House of Communication
The Burgerstocker Gallery is presenting the «Undercolor Diary» series by artist and advertising legend Jean Etienne A. The opening reception will take place on November 14 at the Haus der Kommunikation and will be hosted by Martin Heller.
Jean Etienne A. is a doyen of Swiss advertising. The connection between advertising and art is noticeable in two or three of his forty or so exhibited works and in the first exhibition venue. From November 14, the Burgerstocker Gallery in the Haus der Kommunikation will be exhibiting Jean Etienne A.'s series of works "Undercolor Diary": Monochrome collages of striking signal effect and narrative density, which do not reveal everything at first glance and allow to discover something new with each viewing.
"The occupants of the Haus der Kommunikation, Serviceplan Suisse, Plan.Net and Serviceplan PR are delighted to be able to provide Galerie Burgerstocker and Jean Etienne A. with a respectable space," confirms Christian Baertschi, spokesman for the HdK and partner of Serviceplan Suisse. The building's previous tenant, a high school, used the marble hall as a school cafeteria.
Sacha Moser, Partner and Creative Director of Serviceplan Suisse: "This exhibition fulfills two wishes at once. Firstly, Burgerstocker presents an artist and creative who we hold in exceptionally high esteem. Secondly, we are launching our concept of using the hall as a platform for various events, training courses, exhibitions, as a photo or film studio or even as a pop-up store. We have an open ear for innovative requests."
The exhibition will be opened on Thursday, 14.11. at 6 p.m. in the Haus der Kommunikation at Freiestrasse 129 in Zurich Hottingen. For further opening hours please see the website Burgerstocker.com. You can learn more about the House of Communication at Serviceplan.ch
