Zahn der Zeit, 
Art Under Dock, Zürich

In the last remaining arches of the former Güterbahnhof Zürich, now shaped by ongoing urban transformation, Matazz temporarily occupies the underground spaces of Art Dock. Set within a series of vaulted cellars marked by time, the exhibition brought together installations, sculptures, sound works and performances in dialogue with a space whose own future is temporary.
    Rather than treating the architecture as a neutral container, the exhibition developed through it. Works occupied its arches, walls, passages and darker corners, while performances continuously reshaped the way visitors moved through and experienced the space.

Dinner with the artists As has become customary for Matazz, we began by bringing everyone together around food. Before opening the exhibition to the public, artists and organizers gathered in the cellars for a standing dinner prepared by Dinner Atlas.
Surrounded by the newly installed works, the evening offered a first moment to experience the exhibition together, exchange ideas and spend time with one another before the public opening, accompanied by DJ sets from Marco Alfieri and Yeelen.

VernissageOn Friday, Zahn der Zeit opened to the public. Performances by Carlotta Donadeo and Irene Tabanelli activated different areas of the cellars throughout the evening, while Furka Radio with Aimless Joy accompanied the opening with music.

Visitors were invited to move freely between artworks, performances and the different spaces of Art Under Dock.
