The first exhibition of the Kunsthalle St.Gallen in its very own spaces gives four young St.Gallen artists the opportunity to realise works in a professional setting. What they all have in common is that they work in space/with space, represent new and open concepts of object art and sculpture, demand new habits of reception from the viewer and demonstrate a contemporary consciousness that expresses itself in the courage to make provisional statements beyond right and wrong, in the appeal to the critical but benevolent participatory reason of the viewer and in the renunciation of the primacy of the aesthetic in art.
Roland Lüthi (*1961, Arbon/CH) is a Swiss painter and conceptual artist.
René Racz (*1963, Zürich/CH) lives and works in Basel and Aarau.
Rudolf Schawalder (1952, Au/CH – 1999, Santa Pola/SPA) and Roland Frei (*1956, xx).
