This is where opposing opportunities, expectations and emotions meet and mix.

Kunst Halle Sankt Gallen has a particular position within the Swiss art scene: it can be described as the smallest of the larger institutions for contemporary art or – conversely – the largest of the smaller exhibitors.

Last week to see «Octogone» by Chalisée Naamani‌‌ شالیزه نعمانی! 🥊🥊🥊

Chalisée Naamani understands fashion as a fundamentally political arena in which overarching power dynamics are articulated alongside practices of individual expression and collective resistance. Rather than professing an overt critique, however, her works function more as a reflection on the connection between historical visual worlds and lived political realities, and their ceaseless, mutual layering and transformation.

The exhibition «Octogone» by Chalisée Naamani at Kunst Halle Sankt Gallen was organised in collaboration with Palais de Tokyo, Paris/FR, and Kunsthalle Wien, Vienna/AT. Special thanks to Ciaccia Levi, Paris/Turin.

Don’t miss the artist talk of Chalisée Naamani with Mandana Roozpeikar during the Museum night this Saturday, 12 September at 8.30 pm!

The show is open until Sunday, 13 September.

Opening hours are:
Tue–Fri: 12 p.m.– 6 p.m.
Sat & Sun: 11 a.m.–5 p.m.

«Octogone», 13.6.–13.9.2026

The question of what constitutes a home or «Heimat», and who has the right to one, is more pertinent than ever – particularly with regard to the many people whose lives are shaped by exile and displacement. Naamani builds on these conditions in her work, using artistic appropriation to open up new avenues of interpretation and evaluation.

Only two more weeks to see the show, don’t miss your chance❗️

Opening hours are:
Tue–Fri: 12 p.m.– 6 p.m.
Sat & Sun: 11 a.m.–5 p.m.

«Octogone», 13.6.–13.9.2026

The works in the third room of the exhibition explore the tension between folklore, identity and a sense of home, as well as global tourism, and raise questions about the contemporary conditions of belonging. Both Lederhosen and Dirndls appear as bearers of local tradition and conservative role models, as well as being mass-produced goods that are subject to global marketing logics. The boundaries between traditional costume and disguise, conditioning and cosplay are made fluid. Edelweiss, Empress Sisi, the Eiffel Tower and the Louis Vuitton logo are no longer tied solely to their places of origin; they circulate around the world as consumable symbols in an endless loop.

Opening hours are:
Tue–Fri: 12 p.m.– 6 p.m.
Sat & Sun: 11 a.m.–5 p.m.

In the work Mohamed Ali, Britney Spears and Me (2025), Chalisée Naamani‌‌ شالیزه نعمانی draws connections between the slogans of two freedom movements that appear to be unrelated, but only at a first glance: «Free Britney» and «Free Iran». Both movements found particular resonance on social media and were fundamentally directed against patriarchal oppression of women.

Opening hours are:
Tue–Fri: 12 p.m.– 6 p.m.
Sat & Sun: 11 a.m.–5 p.m.

«Octogone», 13.6.–13.9.2026

In the second exhibition space, we find ourselves in the setting of a sports changing room. Who claims love? (2025) presents a view of a row of red Varzesh-e Pahlavani capes that have been upcycled and modified by Naamani. This reference is interwoven with elements from the artist‘s birthplace of Paris through the incorporation of luxury brand logos and tourist souvenirs, such as Eiffel Tower replicas. The artist’s exploration of martial arts attire continues with breastplates adorned with houndstooth patterns. Much like the Persian Boteh Jeghe pattern, this design spread to various geographical regions and was adopted by local textile industries. 🧶🧶🧶

Opening hours are:
Tue–Fri: 12 p.m.– 6 p.m.
Sat & Sun: 11 a.m.–5 p.m.

Big News! 🥁🥳

Two weeks ago, the St.Gallen City Council unanimously approved the funding for the transformation of our foyer. This is a major milestone for the future of the Kunst Halle Sankt Gallen. It means that we can now begin putting the project into action!

The building application has been submitted and we plan to start the renovation work at the end of September, with a view to completing it by the end of 2026. We are now in the process of planning all the details and are super excited about the next steps.

Nevertheless, the project’s funding is not yet fully secured and we need further support. Every contribution counts – we hope you’ll help too! ✨

Find further information about the project and ways to become part of our growing community on our website: k9000.ch/en/foyer

We are very thankful for your questions, ideas and contributions! 💚
