Reading from “Land am Rande”
by Christoph Ullmann, about Steckborn and the Untersee region a hundred years ago.
With his publication “Land am Rande”, Chrisoph Ullmann uses the reporting in the local press, the “Bote vom Untersee”, to describe the precarious situation of the region during the First World War, far away from the decision-making centers, but directly affected by the events of the war due to the border situation.
The Randen-Ränderen-Ränder soup by Christian, Margrith and Regula Meyer is served with it.

Periphery refers to a circumferential line or edge. This edge is always related to the center. Sociologically, periphery defines “rather remote, marginal and sparsely populated large areas in which cultural developments often arrive delayed,” says Christian Giordano. By daring to take the opposite view, the exhibition wants to “think from the edges” with a view from the periphery. It asks what it is that defines so-called marginal zones, and under what framework conditions they come about.
