It wishes to stress the role of the Kunst Halle Sankt Gallen as a specific spatial and social place in the city, and of contemporary art as a catalyst of civic imagination, an irreplaceable contributor to public discourse.
Spreading over less than 40 km2 and with a population of 75,000, St. Gallen, Switzerland, is an exemplary case of the modern Mittelstadt. It offers an excellent research ground to investigate the changing characteristics of the provincial city, how it enmeshes in the complex mix of contemporary global forces, or how, simply put, it is lived out today. As such, St. Gallen claims to offer its inhabitants both some sort of ideal small city life, and a key role in a global condition, as it is well-connected to many other cities, far and close. St. Gallen is thus a model of a city that its inhabitants can be nostalgic of when they have left it; that can stay unquestioned as a site for passing one’s whole life; to which people might want to move to in order to live a better life; but also, a city that can sometimes be lived, especially in the experience of teenagers and the youth, as too promiscuous and apathetic, almost potential- and horizon-less in comparison with the larger city.
