Publications
Kunsthaus Bregenz publishes catalogues in close collaboration with artists as well as renowned graphic designers. The graphic design of the catalogues accompanying the exhibitions reflects both the subject matter and visual language of the respective artists, so that each catalogue not only provides documentation, but also becomes part of the work and an extension of the exhibition.

Tarek Atoui – DIALOGS
This catalogue is the result of a collaboration between Pirelli HangarBicocca, Kunsthaus Bregenz, S.M.A.K. Municipal Museum of Contemporary Art, Ghent and Institut d’art contemporain, Villeurbanne/Rhône-Alpes—all of which hosted exhibitions by Tarek Atoui between 2023 and 2025. It reflects the artist’s intention to contextualize these distinct projects, grouping them into a visual imagery that intersects views of the exhibitions, performances, studio work and creative process.
DIALOGS is published in conjunction with MONO LOGS, a set of three LPs, featuring sounds produced by international musicians performing solo on Atoui’s instruments in a variety of contexts.

Günter Brus –Aquarelle / Watercolors
The exhibition was the last that he actively worked on. Special attention was paid to Brus’s last series of pictures, created between 2020 and 2023 during the coronavirus lockdowns, which were exhibited at a public institution for the first time. The publication focuses on these previously unpublished colorful watercolors, which are characterized by a playful inventiveness. They depict mysterious edifices, eerie monsters, and precarious ego states and portray wondrous, surreal scenes of loneliness, fear, death, and dark dreaminess.
