Executive Summary 1 Executive Summary 1.1 Terms of reference Registered association HALLE 14 e.V. is represented in the EU programme SECOND CHANCE along with eight other partners from five European partner cities. The project is examining the use of the visual arts and the performing arts to revitalise disused industrial buildings and sites. A SWOT analysis is to be carried out for each location to determine the individual circumstances of the post-industrial building there with a view to its long-term, sustainable (continued) reuse. This study focuses on the profile of the Halle 14 art centre and its current usage concept – and partly also that of the Leipzig Cotton Spinning Mill site. First of all, the entire city of Leipzig is introduced in a statistical portrait (Section 2) with special emphasis on its economic (2.2) and cultural profile (2.3). Recent developments and strategies are outlined in Section 3 paying particular attention to the cultural and creative industries. Following this introductory information, Section 4 describes the sector comprising the visual arts and the performing arts in Leipzig in more detail as well as the related structures such as art galleries and museums. In Section 5, the current status of the public cultural sector (5.2) and the intermediary sector of the cultural scene in Leipzig (5.3) are gauged on the basis of semi-structured interviews with experts, focusing in particular on the visual arts and the creative milieu in West Leipzig. Furthermore, networks and institutions relevant to Halle 14 (5.4) and possible links with the activities of Halle 14 (5.5) are presented. Section 6 contains a detailed description of Halle 14, its activities and its direct surroundings, and continues by examining the potential of Halle 14 and additional ideas regarding its development. The strengths and weaknesses of the location are identified and described in Sections 3, 4 and 5, along with opportunities and threats to the further development of Halle 14 and the Leipzig Cotton Spinning Mill site. Section 7 compares the findings while Section 8 consists of a brief final summary. 1.2 Methodology This SWOT analysis was compiled in October and November 2010. It is based on the findings of extensive data research as well as eight semi-structured, questionnaire-based interviews with selected experts from the public cultural sector, the intermediary sector and networks. The detailed descriptions of the various reference levels (including the city as a whole, the district, and the economic situation) are based on an evaluation of the results of broad research and statistical data covering various fields. The data used for this quantitative analysis was obtained from for example various departments of the City of Leipzig, the Saxon Department of Statistics and the German Employment Agency (labour exchange) as well as statistical units at for instance Leipzig Chamber of Industry and Commerce and the KSK artists’ social insurance scheme. In order to examine thematic features of the cultural and creative industries as well as of Halle 14, interviews were conducted with actors whose work and involvement make them particularly qualified to talk about Halle 14 and related issues. As a result of this qualitative module, the questionnaire-based interviews enabled assessments and information to be concluded about relevant areas and institutions, which in turn allowed a concrete evaluation of the cultural and creative industries in Leipzig and Halle 14. Various priorities with different degrees of urgency and consequences for the development of Halle 14 were identified in close consultation with the actors and by using the data analysed. In conclusion, the findings of this process are 1
