KUB’s Projects in the Field
With its exhibitions and projects the KUB addresses current challenges in the international art scene. Moreover, its work and especially its projects in Vorarlberg contribute strongly to promoting the cultural identity of the region.
Former field projects in Vorarlberg included Anish Kapoor (2003), Jenny Holzer (2004), Janet Cardiff (2005), and Michael Craig-Martin (2006) in the Johanniterkirche in Feldkirch, as well as Gottfried Bechtold’s work at the Silvretta Dam - Signatur 02- , which the KUB has since purchased for its collection, and the xenon projections by the American artist Jenny Holzer (2004). The latter consisted of a series of large-format texts which the artist projected onto architectural and natural monuments (e. g. the Old Parish Church in Lech or the rock face Kanisfluh). With "Inside the Work", the Kunsthaus Bregenz presented itself as an institution in an international context at the Austrian Cultural Forum in New York in 2005. The project Horizon Field is in keeping with the KUB’s series of already initiated artistic interventions in public space in Vorarlberg and, at the same time, represents a climax because this field of figures is being installed in one of Vorarlberg’s most beautiful landscapes. |
