Marc Hungerbühler (b. 1963, St. Gallen, Switzerland) is a Swiss-born multimedia artist, curator, and cultural organizer whose practice unfolds across installation, photography, moving image, and interdisciplinary exhibition-making. Based in New York, his work has long traced the shifting intersections of identity, migration, and cultural exchange, often moving between personal narrative and larger geopolitical frameworks.
Educated at Parsons School of Design and later attending the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Hungerbühler developed an early commitment to experimental and site-responsive forms. His artistic language is marked by an interest in material transformation, ephemeral structures, and the unstable boundaries between documentation and intervention.
In 2002, he co-founded the:artist:network in New York and Beijing, an independent platform dedicated to fostering international artistic dialogue. Through this initiative, he has curated more than forty exhibitions and developed residency programs across the United States, Switzerland, and China, building sustained exchanges between artists, institutions, and communities.
Hungerbühler’s curatorial work gained particular visibility through his involvement with the 798 Beijing Biennale, where he served as curatorial director, shaping one of the first independent large-scale international exhibition platforms within Beijing’s evolving contemporary art landscape. His projects often privilege process over spectacle, foregrounding collaboration, spatial sensitivity, and the social architecture of exhibitions.
Alongside his studio and curatorial practice, he has worked as a cultural correspondent for Swiss media, contributing essays, criticism, and visual reportage. Across these parallel roles, Hungerbühler has maintained a practice rooted in dialogue: between East and West, private memory and public space, artwork and audience. His oeuvre resists fixed categorization, instead inhabiting the porous terrain between artistic production and cultural mediation.
