When the exhibition building becomes the artist's material
Dora Budor is a versatile artist whose works appeal to all the senses. In the exhibition Dora Budor: Continent, starting March 19, the Kunsthaus Bregenz itself becomes a work of art: the artist makes building structures visible and directs the senses of visitors to what is hidden.

For Dora Budor (*1984), buildings are more than just walls and a roof: the trained architect explores the intrinsic life of a structure. She reveals its secrets that lie hidden - and invites all the senses to participate in the art experience. In Dora Budor: Continent, from March 19 to June 26, 2022, the Kunsthaus Bregenz itself becomes a work of art. So-called collector corridors extend around the building's foundation, providing access to supply lines. Budor appoints the collector corridor as a work of art, she removes sediments, obstructs accesses: a new experience of an unknown environment.
On the upper floors, Budor places remote-controlled sex toys in the ventilation shafts and, through the vibrations, demands visitors' attention to an unconscious process: the supply of fresh air, an elaborate aspect of building design. In the exhibition spaces, Budor shows smaller sculptures such as the Pucks (bagarreurs) made of coffee grounds or a melted, reshaped bicycle in Something To Remind Me. Dora Budor is a participant in the 59th Venice Biennale this year.
