We are happy to invite you to the opening of the fourth chapter of the exhibition The Power of Mushrooms: Berta Rahm’s Pavilion for the Saffa 58! For the duration of the exhibition, HOTMAILHOTNAIL will install a temporary nail studio in the exhibition space. HOTMAILHOTNAIL is a meeting place for everyone, a studio, and a format for nail art with the aim to collaborate with artists from different disciplines, to jointly appropriate spaces, and to connote them anew. It discusses and lives feminist concerns in these spaces, and develops the nails on and with the wearers to make it visible as a medium and art form.
Nail art on natural nail (up to 2h): CHF 90
Nail art with extension (up to 3h): CHF 120 (students) / CHF 140
