Hi there, you need to tell us what is happening to this house, I am sure people do not live in it upside down.... good one

als ich vor 2 wochen dort war, war es weg... vermutlich hat es der wind weggeblasen!? :-)

Sehr schoen!

The house was part of an art exhibit. It's by the artist Erwin Wurm.

The museum (MUMOK) writes: "In a spectacular event marking the opening of the exhibition Erwin Wurm. Keep A Cool Head, on October 18, 2006 House Attack a single-family house — was heaved onto the roof of MUMOK. House Attack will be on view for the duration of the exhibition.

The idea for House Attack emerged while planning the MUMOK retrospective. House Attack is a single-family house that crashes into the roof of the museum, a house like one that might be built at Blaue Laguene (Blue Lagoon), a prefab housing development in southern Vienna. A symbol for conservative, small-minded longings, the single-family house collides into the museum as an temple to the muses, and the museum itself now also becomes part of the sculpture. House Attack confuses our perception of art and everyday reality and in its striking appearance and humorous, dramatic staging of the banal is a perfect example of current developments in the artist's work."
