The evn collection is a platform for exploring visual arts and is intended for the company’s staff and interested visitors alike. The exhibition of works at the company’s premises in Maria Enzersdorf, 15 kilometres south of Vienna, permits a direct dialogue with current and critical positions at this location.
Tours through the collection: by appointment.

The EVN head office is a modernist structure from the 1960s, flexible enough for decades of use as an office building with changing needs. Since 1996, the EVN Group’s corporate headquarters has also served as an exhibition venue for the evn collection, a selection of works of international contemporary art as diverse in subject matter as they are in media use.
In 2018, the implementation of a new spatial concept began. For a collection aiming to show museum-standard presentations in a highly frequented business environment, a large-scale conversion like this, as well as subsequent smaller modifications that are ongoing, posed quite a challenge. This led to the idea of commissioning artists to design wallpapers without any specifications made about form or content. In a second step, the curators on the EVN Art Council, by way of free association, then bring together the different wallpapers with works from the collection. The result is an equally cheerful and playful rendezvous of corporate organization, architecture, and contemporary art for visitors and viewers to enjoy.
