Polpo is presented at Salone del Milano
5.–10. Sept. 2021
New Rose Hotel
New Rose Hotel
suns.works’gallery took up residence on the top floor former headquarters of Credit Suisse of the Hochhaus zur Palme, a modernist high-rise in Zurich, before its imminent transformation. Aggressively futuristic at the time, projecting a confidence in never-ending progress, it is now a landmark.
The show embraced the high-modernist aesthetics of Hochhaus zur Palme and the sombre atmosphere of the eponymous story of New Rose Hotel, whose techno-erotic vision of the future, coloured by millennial anxiety, appears much closer to present-day sensibilities.
set design together with Matthew Phillips. Exhibition participation, Manon Gaeschlin, Martin Jaeggi.

The Author Speaks (WWA)
The Author Speaks (T-A-S) is a short interview where we find out a little about the approach and inspirations of different female producers of text, focussing each time on one of their works.
Our circle of guests extends globally to women that in some way or another, engage with an idea of architecture. Mindy Seu, writer of the Cyberfeminism Index inaugurated the new format.
T-A-S follows A Book I Love (A-B-I-L), the first series of podcast by WWA.
The episodes can be listened to on Spotify
