The program for 2013 begins with an international group exhibition presenting both young undiscovered talents as well as established artists. It will also be presenting Keith Haring, a classic of 20th-century art. The show, which borrows its title Love is Colder than Capital from René Pollesch, engages with the timeless subject of attraction against the backdrop of the current commer- cialization of all spheres of life. Following the group exhibition, Wade Guyton, Guyton\Walker, and Kelley Walker will bring together three artistic positions that have hitherto been kept strictly independent, including in their exhibiting activities. Their jointly conceived exhibition at KUB will also explore issues of autonomy and authorship. KUB will be dedicating its big summer exhibition to the internationally-renowned Mexican artist Gabriel Orozco, deepening once again its dialog with artists in an increasingly globalized world. Like Wade Guyton and Kelley Walker, the artist Barbara Kruger, known for her feminist and media-critical works, also participated with new works in the group exhibition That’s the way we do it at Kunsthaus Bregenz in 2011. The recurrent appearance of artists in different connections and activities at Kunsthaus Bregenz demon- strates once more the museum’s special interest in long- tem collaborations with specific artistic approaches. Parallel to these extensive presentations, Kunsthaus Bregenz will continue its engagement with experimental and process-oriented formats in the KUB Arena. The KUB Collection Showcase recently opened in the Post Office building next to the Kunsthaus, where architectural models by Peter Zumthor have been on show since summer 2012, will continue to present the treasures of the KUB Collection to a broader public in 2013.

07 08 KUB Arena 2013 kub Collection Showcase Architectural Models by Peter Zumthor

One of the largest groups of works in the Kunsthaus Bregenz Collection consists of over 300 architectural models by Peter Zumthor. Some of these exhibits have been in storage at KUB since the architect’s solo exhibition in 2007. Further models have been or are still being added to the collection as permanent loans. A selection of these models has been on show since June 2012 in the 200 square meter space on the first floor of the Post Office building directly adjacent to Kunsthaus Bregenz. Both buildings that were realized as well as those that remained in the design stage are exhibited. The variety and wealth of materials displayed in the exhibition demonstrate the outstanding role that working with models plays in the work of Peter Zumthor’s studio. In response to popular demand, Peter Zumthor’s architectural projects will continue to be on view in the KUB Collection Showcase in 2013.
