Albert Allgaier was born in 1983 in Bregenz (Austria). He is the PhD candidate in Japanese studies at the University of Vienna, co-curator of the Bregenz Biennale, co-founder of the artist collective gruppe uno wien.
For Albert, art is a way to share the individual enthusiam for all the different topics one’s life is concerned with. Travelling to different places, like doing a residency, provides him an opportunity to find new ways of communicating these passions and adapt them to new enviroments – like life itself needs to be adjusted frequently.
In tbilisi he aimed to continue his ongoing project, ” i ♥ thomas hirschhorn”, share his fascination for a really obscure japanese movie, re-learn gymnopedie no2 on the guitar for the millionth time, and go for long walks everyday.
His dream project is to run a doner kebap place in Istanbul.
