A Choreographed Exhibition

The project curated by Mathieu Copeland “A Choreographed Exhibition”, is composed only of movements in space and time. Three dancers from the Stadttheater’s Tanzkompanie will perform a succession of rehearsed moves and gestures during the duration of over a month. This long-term performance is a unique collaboration, which consists of works by Jonah Bokaer, Philipp Egli, Karl Holmqvist, Jennifer Lacey, Roman Ondak, Nichael Parsons, Michael Portnoy & Fia Backström and will be realised by the Stadttheater St. Gallen. This collaborative work unites contemporary visual art and dance and challenges the customary idea of an exhibition and of displayed art objects as such. Not the spatial set-up but rather the temporal positioning of the individual pieces thus emerges as the leading exhibition concept.

Eine choreographierte Ausstellung is supported by Ars Rhenia Stiftung, British Council and Arnold Billwiler Stiftung, St. Gallen and the Swedish Embassy, Berne. It is a co-production with the Centre d'art contemporain La Ferme du Buisson, Marne-la Valle (F), and realised by the Stadttheater St. Gallen.

Performing Times: Wed – Fri 2 – 6 pm, Sat/Sun 1 – 5 pm

Sonja Feldmeier

Simultaneously the Kunst Halle presents in the solo show INHALE EXHALE by Sonja Feldmeier three new installative audio and video pieces respectively. These are all circling around questions of identities, role models and communicating processes. Whether the Basel based artist Sonja Feldmeier alludes to Western projections about Islamic women, rock stars or the American entertainer Frank Sinatra, the clichés she alludes to, reveal their own brittleness, yet in so doing also accentuate precisely their very cultural impact. In her renegotiating and undermining these stereotypes, the bracing critical power of Sony Feldmeier’s work becomes manifest.

Opening Times: Tue – Fri 12 am – 6 pm, Sat/Sun 11 am – 5 pm
