The village of Weikendorf in Lower Austria wanted the square around their new community center to be re-designed by an artist. Their choice fell on Michael Kienzer, who as part of his task repurposed the old fire station, turning it into an art space: Kunstraum Weikendorf. His persuasive concept, which by relying on a glass front visually connects the inside of the space with the outside, makes it possible to curate artistic interventions that change every six months. A total of 22 exhibitions have been realized since 2007, and they are now being presented in book form for the first time. The catalogue includes extensive photographic documentation and accompanying texts. Artistic contributions by, amongst others: Gerwald Rockenschaub, Bruno Gironcoli, Iris Andraschek, Hans Schabus, Johanna and Helmut Kandl
