Information

Several blue metal objects were installed at source of energy above the Mistral spring: A dew collector catches spring water above the spring, cylindrical objects provide seating, two solar-powered lampposts provide light above the currents of energy.

Regina Möller’s piece "game sculpture" for the Großmugl kindergarten is based on children’s drawings on the theme "where do you like playing most outside?" Möller used them to develop the climbing structure with house. The house as an autonomous space for children, a place for them to retreat from the adult’s sphere of influence. The house as a moving carton also serves as a metaphor for mobility. The box is a mass commodity that can be used in a number of ways. The interior of the play sculpture is covered with green chalk that can be washed off – this invites children to tell their own stories and to always develop new ones. Möller has placed the words "living room" and "children’s room" on the outside of the box. She has used the German, English, Turkish, Polish, Hungarian and Czech word for this. In selecting languages she has made recourse to both the neighboring countries and to English, one of the world languages. The artist who lives in Berlin selected Turkish and Polish since both of these languages are strongly represented in Berlin today. From the countries neighboring on Austria, the artist has selected Czech and Hungarian. In this particular case she was less interested in conveying linguistic classifications than giving children an idea of the diversity of languages.
