One must understand a home to understand a hotel. The Hotel Nizza has been the temporary home to many since its opening in 1993. From February 17th to March 11th, the Nizza Hotel will be hosting new artworks and interventions. Under the title of "The Grand Nizza Hotel Show," 21 artistic positions developed by art students and alumni from Judith Hopf's class from Städelschule will be exhibited in the hotel. Temporarily paired together under the same roof, the works circle around the theme of being a guest, reflecting perspectives of what it means to be a visitor, a traveler, and an observer. Opening up and expanding familiar narratives of belonging and estrangement, embracing existing narratives, and fabricating new ones.

Many thanks to Stefanie Pesin and her team.
