Hamlet is a non-commercial exhibition project in Zurich-Oerlikon dedicated to young, contemporary art. In summer 2024, Hamlet was handed over for the second time to a new team: Sophie Nadler and Etienne Eisele took over the curation under the project name Divided Studios and are continuing the program with a new focus on spatial interventions and anti-disciplinary experiments. During the 2024/25 season, Hamlet will present a total of five exhibitions, which will be accompanied by a supporting program consisting of screenings, performances, readings and more.
We want to pay attention to a diverse and sustainable exchange between the artists and a broad audience. It is always part of Hamlet's mission to develop a program that is accessible to a broad audience by removing barriers.
Hamlet was founded in 2018 by Cathrin Jarema, Clifford E. Bruckmann and Andrea Abegg Serrano. In 2022, the curation was handed over to Julia Hegi and Antonia Truninger, who continued the project under the name ‘2 Boys Broken Hearts’ until May 2024.
With the takeover by Divided Studios, Hamlet will continue to develop as an expansive and anti-disciplinary curated project space that can also challenge artistic trends and take new steps with a diverse, multi-faceted program.

Communication
A floor plan and exhibition text in German and English are available at the entrance. In addition, we will can inform visitors verbally about the exhibition and the text. We will try to provide a transcript for spoken audio recordings, but cannot guarantee (please enquire if interested). A responsible contact person is present at all times and can assist with various concerns. Dogs are welcome.
Quiet times
Except for openings and events (such as film screenings or performances), the number of visitors is usually very low during regular opening hours. The Tea Room also offers the opportunity to sit down and have a drink. Earplugs are provided if required. If you have any questions, concerns or suggestions, please get in touch by email at any time. As an off-space, we only have limited resources, including in terms of accessibility. However, we have a relatively manageable, small audience and we endeavour to accommodate every request as best we can.
