“Heimspiel” also to go on show in Vaduz for the first time
The triennial “Heimspiel” art competition open to the public is organised by the
cantons Appenzell Ausserrhoden, Appenzell Innerrhoden, St. Gallen, Thurgau,
the Principality of Liechtenstein, and the Province of Vorarlberg. For the first
time, the “Heimspiel” exhibition will be taking place not only in St. Gallen, but
also in Vaduz.
The international “Heimspiel” art show promotes current artistic work, bringing
together artists and the public, cantons and countries. Each new iteration of this
triennial show is a major event in the region. And now it is bigger than ever.
The procedure
The names of the artists selected by an international panel of judges based on work
proposals are eagerly awaited every time. They give a highly diverse insight into
current artistic endeavours, but also reflect the interests of the judges, consisting this
time around of Eva Birkenstock (Curator KUB-Arena Kunsthaus Bregenz), Raffael
Dörig (Director Kunsthaus Langenthal) and Andrea Thal (Artistic Director
Contemporary Image Collective Cairo). In a two-stage procedure they selected works
by 76 artists or artist groups from a total of some 450 entries. The age range goes
from 26 to 92.
Four presentations
The fact that “Heimspiel” is now billing at four instead of two venues makes the
allocation game all the more complex, but also makes for greater variety. The curators
at the various participating institutions tackle the demanding task of mounting an
atmospheric exhibition of the wide range of themes and media selected by the panel of
judges and presenting the works to best effect.
All documentations submitted and presented to the jury can be viewed at Projektraum
Nextex in St. Gallen from 11 December 2015 to 21 February 2016, thus allowing the
public to get their own impression of the full range of entries and of those on display
at the various shows.
