Twelve rooms at Munich's Hotel Mariandl given over to young artists for 'Zimmer frei' exhibition

Twelve rooms at the Hotel Mariandl, at Goethestraße 51 in Munich, were turned over to young international artists for this year's 'Zimmer frei' ('Room available') exhibition. The art project, run by the city's Department of Arts and Culture, has taken place in the hotel's historic rooms since 2000.

The artists fill the rooms with installations, photography, video, painting and performance, while the hotel carries on operating as normal on its other floors.

This year's rooms were designed by Jannis Besen, Leon Boden, Shaghayegh Chamani, Luzia Ehrmann, Vincent Entekhabi, Anna Hölzl, Joana Loewis, Florian Clemens Meier, Camilla Metelka, Tabitha Nagy, Pablo Vasquez-Moraga and Yiyuan Zhang.

The exhibition was scheduled to open on Tuesday 13 October at 7pm with a welcome address from Mayor Mona Fuchs. The works were then due to be on view from Wednesday 14 to Sunday 18 October, daily from midday to 10pm, with free admission.

On Saturday 17 October, the exhibition was set to stay open until 1am as part of the Long Night of Munich Museums and Galleries, with entry from 6pm onwards for holders of a valid ticket only. Further information is available at http://www.mariandl.com/kunst-im-hotel/kunstprojekt-zimmerfrei.
