The American domestic garage is a relatively neglected phenomenon whose hinged doors regularly conceal important belongings, activities, and rituals that don’t appear in public. Throughout the years, the Mackey Apartments and Garages have been used as a think tank and creative laboratory for artists and architects.

Garage Project II, curated by Peter Noever, Director MAK Vienna, brings together well-known artists and architects from Vienna and Los Angeles—Raymond Pettibon, Franz Graf, Hernán Diáz Alonso, Elke Krystufek, and the next ENTERprise—each of whom have created works specifically for the Mackey Garages. Featuring a brand new second-floor project space dubbed the “Garage Top,” the five newly rebuilt and enhanced garage units are the setting for this exhibition of site-responsive interventions accompanied by a video program, featuring works by Judy Fiskin, Kurn Kren, Claudia Kugler, Sonia Leimer, Tina Schulz, Nadim Vardag, specially selected for the occasion by artists John Baldessari of Los Angeles, and Heinrich Dunst and Peter Kogler of Vienna.
