Since September 2004, the presentation at the MAK Depot of Contemporary Art in Vienna’s Arenbergpark flak tower includes the entire ground floor. The collection focusing on cars as its subject –Hans Kupelwieser (“Metallomobil”), Franz West (“Par Bleu”), Hiro Yamagata (object from “Earthly Paradise”) – has been extended by objects by Dejanoff & Heger (“Quite Normal Luxury”), Birgit Jürgenssen (“Ich weiß nicht”), and Erwin Wurm (“Fat Car”).

In addition, installations by Peter Friedl (“Badly Organized”), Marko Lulic (“Hart und Weich Nr. 1”), and Brigitte Kowanz (“Vergessen”) are shown in these newly available spaces. Especially Brigitte Kowanz’s work relates to the specific context of the antiaircraft tower and its history and meaning.
