Career

Andreas Rudigier was born in Bludenz in 1965 and grew up in Gaschurn in Montafon ( Vorarlberg ). From 1975 to 1983 he attended the federal (real) gymnasium Bludenz . From 1983 he studied art history (doctorate in 1997 with a thesis on the Tyrolean baroque sculptor Johann Ladner , in 1998 awarded with a grant from the Johann Wolfgang Goethe Institute in Basel dedicated to the art historian Erich Egg, published in the series of the Schlern writings, 308 / 1999) and that of law (completed in 1994, diploma thesis on monument preservation in the federal state) in Innsbruck .

Rudigier has been working as a freelance art historian since 1991 (with projects including projects for the state of Vorarlberg and the Austrian Academy of Sciences, as well as numerous cultural mediation activities). From 1998 to 2000 he worked at the Federal Monuments Office, State Conservatory for Salzburg .

From 2000 to 2011 Rudigier headed the Montafon museums and also organized numerous cultural-historical and scientific projects (Maize inventory Montafon, archaeological studies of medieval ruins, themed trails, interviews with contemporary witnesses, publication of the multi-volume Montafon history ...). In 2002 the new Montafon Archive opened in the Montafon Local History Museum in Schruns; In 2009 the Frühmesserhaus in Bartholomäberg was opened as a new museum (concept of the “growing museum”); The ambitious “MuseumNeu” project was launched in 2007–2010 (with the idea of ​​expanding and partially redesigning the Montafon local history museum, the winning design came from Marte.Marte Architects from Vorarlberg). After a long (also public) discussion in a referendum in 2011, the project was rejected by the Schruns population.

From 2004 to 2009 and 2011 to 2014 Rudigier was a member of the cultural advisory board of the state of Vorarlberg, since 2014 he has been a member of the regional studies commission of the state of Vorarlberg; In 2007 he received a grant from the state of Vorarlberg in the art section. From 2009 to 2011 Rudigier was a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Vorarlberger Landesmuseum (vorarlberg museum). From 2010 to 2013 he was President of the Vorarlberger Landesmuseumsverein .

Rudigier has been director of the vorarlberg museum in Bregenz since April 2011 and is responsible for the new building and, above all, the redesign of the museum concept (opening in June 2013, awarded with a special recommendation at the European Museum of the Year award ceremony in Glasgow in 2015, awarded the Austrian Museum Prize ). The concept is based on the following cornerstones, among others:

More attitude and less mission statement, history and present, object and person, open access (not history, but many stories), cooperation, cultural landscape thinking.

Rudigier has been on the advisory board of the Austrian Museum Association since November 2011. From 2015 to 2018 he was President of the Euregio MuSeeum Bodensee . In addition, Rudigier was repeatedly a member of so-called search commissions (including the architecture of the new Vienna Museum , the appointment of a founding director of the House of History Austria ) and, since 2019, a member of the cultural advisory board in the Federal Ministry for Art, Culture, Public Service and Sport . Rudigier wrote numerous publications on art and cultural history as well as folklore and museological topics with a geographical focus on Vorarlberg and neighboring areas.
