Hotel Everland
Hotel Everland is created by Swiss artist-duo Sabina Lang and Daniel Baumann. L/B are known for their installations that deal with architecture and space and with their useful artwork.
Everland is a amazing stylish mini Hotel with only one room including a bathroom, a king-size bed and a lounge.The Everland offers of course all the comfort of a luxury hotel. Also the concept for operating the hotel was defined by the artists. All facets are important constituents of the artistic idea: The room can be booked for one night only, the mini-bar is fully stocked and included in the price, breakfast is delivered to the door and a record collection stands at ones disposal.
These are the words of one great artist. He said that...
‘‘The Everland Hotel is a schizophrenic object. It is a hotel and a work of art at one and the same time. The two entities do not fuse into one; each keeps its autonomy. Now is not the time for utopias joining the different fields of knowledge in one grand unifying principle.
Now is not the time for the utopia of an ecumenical theory offering us surefire formulas for serenely grasping our daily existence. Artists provide no answers,they propose transitional objects whose value lies in the energy they generate oscillating simultaneously between different domains and different timeframes. Hotel and work of art, Everland avoids every attempt at categorization and provides a night to think about the impact of contemporary art in our system of thought.”
