Zurich Residency

Place: Germann Auktionshaus, Zurich

Date: -

Artists: Isabella Séville Fürnkäs

Works: Hide & Seek, How to Be a Flower, Medusa's Kiss, The Process of Unlearning

From 17–21 August 2026, Isabella Séville Fürnkäs transformed the ground floor of Germann Auktionshaus into a temporary studio as part of a five-day artist residency. Developed in collaboration with Germann and Flux, the project created a space in which visitors could directly encounter the artistic process as it unfolded.

Throughout the residency, Fürnkäs worked on site with watercolor, oil sticks, and coffee, developing a new series of large-scale works on watercolor paper. In contrast to the conventional exhibition or auction context, where artworks are typically presented only once completed, the focus here was placed on the process of making itself.

During opening hours, visitors were invited to enter the studio and follow the works as they evolved over the course of several days. The residency also remained visible from the street through the windows facing Stockerstrasse.

The project concluded at Germann Auktionshaus with a finissage on 21 August. The following evening, it continued at Flux with an artist talk, during which Isabella Séville Fürnkäs spoke about her artistic practice and reflected on her experience of the residency.
