Bregenz Biennale 2020: The Art of Hosting

Institutions as a Way of Life researcher Bernhard Garnicnig is the co-founder and a curator of the Bregenz Biennale 2020. Under the title “The Art of Hosting”, the Biennale explores the intersection between cultural tourism, tourism at an industrial and global scale, and the subsumption of art-as-culture. Out of the complicity of biennales as a global phenomenon in the now legacy form of mass tourism, the Bregenz Biennale developed the experimental form of a “Biennale for One”, which focuses on singular aesthetic experiences based on 1:1 meetings in the city of Bregenz.
