Costa Vece

Costa Vece is a Swiss artist born in 1969 in Herisau, Switzerland, who currently lives and works in Zurich. He attended F+F School for Art and Media in Zurich.

His works explore themes of homeland, cultural identity, social exclusion, and existential homelessness. Vece's installations are often constructed using simple, found materials and everyday objects. These structures are intended to be inaccessible and barricaded, creating a sense of exclusion and resistance. They often feature wall murals, slogans, flags, and barbed wire.

His solo exhibitions include ’Costa Vece: Neurose’, at Christinger de Mayo (Zurich, Switzerland), ‘Metissage’ at Kunstraum Kreuzlingen (Kreuzlingen, Switzerland), ’This was not the end,’ at Galleria Franco Noero (Turin, Italy) and ‘Why does my heart feel so bad?’ curated by Marianne Karabelnik at Binz 39 (Zurich, Switzerland).
