THE
VIENNA ART WEEK 2022
EXHIBITION

19-27 NOV 2022
WIEDNER HAUPTSTRAßE 140
1050 VIENNA

A condemned office building turned into the exhibition venue for the VIENNA ART WEEK and became a unique creative experimental space. On three floors and a total of 1,000m2, around 40 national and international artists and performers questioned existing orders, canons and systems and invited us to challenge our own preconceived opinions and concepts.

Due to the great visitor success, the exhibition at the House of CHALLENGING ORDERS was extended and attracted over 3,000 people.
