Kunsthaus Bregenz
I have been working for the Kunsthaus Bregenz since it was founded. Since 2006, together with Bernd Altenried, I have been creating exhibition booklets, banners, posters, exhibition signage, advertisements, etc. within the framework of the basic design created by Clemens Schedler (1997/2012).

Kunsthaus Bregenz is an institute for the presentation of outstanding contemporary art that is active internationally. Thanks to its ambitious exhibition program and its unique architecture, the KUB is also internationally renowned amongst aficionados of both art and architecture. It was designed by the Swiss architect Peter Zumthor on behalf of the Austrian Federal State of Vorarlberg and was constructed between 1990 and 1997. Peter Zumthor won the Mies van der Rohe Award for European Architecture in 1998 for the Kunsthaus. In 2009, he was honored with the Pritzker Prize, the most prestigious award for architects.
Artists are invited to respond to the building’s architecture or to even enter into a symbiosis with it. For this reason, a large part of the work on display has been created on site and especially for the institution. Kunsthaus Bregenz’s exhibitions and projects enable artists’ ideas to become reality. The boundaries of both what is feasible and imaginable continually shift with each exhibition. Precisely executed projects evolve from the artists’ initial visions – rough, hand drawn sketches or small-scale models. Such projects are only possible thanks to collaborations involving mutual trust between the technical team, the artist, and curator, as well as the entire staff at the Kunsthaus.
To date Kunsthaus Bregenz has offered well over a hundred artists from all over the world space for new and, in some cases, unique works, enabling KUB to achieve an internationally renowned position amongst institutes of contemporary art.
Since 2010, my partner Bernd Altenried and I have been developing extensive communication tools for more than 60 exhibitions at the Kunsthaus Bregenz, based on Clemens Schedler’s basic design. Each exhibition is accompanied by applications such as: Invitation cards/booklets, flags and banners, advertisements in renowned art magazines and newspapers, digital screens, work labels, and other publications.
