Girdafi placement at Essl Museum

"Festival Of Animals" is the title of a nice and refreshing exhibition at the Essl Museum in Klosterneuburg.

I understand it to be the result of an experiment by the museum's team of art educators. They worked with children to develop a fun way of presenting contemporary art that speaks to all senses. It's really fun! As a visitor you read funny fantasy stories about paintings and sculptures, you search for art in a dark room with a torch and you simply don't feel bad about approaching art in a not so over-serious way.

But the best thing comes at the end of the exhibition: Contribute your own art to the collection!



And so I did. But as they didn't have any yarn or needles there I had to improvise with crayons and covered my favorite animal drawing on the wall with a girdafi pattern.
