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.

Girdafi is Out Of Order, too!

Today I added a Girdafi to Out Of Order's graffiti next to Donaukanal. It's an approximately 1,5 meters high yarnbomb with some yarn wrapped around the ballustrade next to it, building some kind of a frame. If you pass by and look through that Girdafi-frame it looks like that not only Gaddafi's system is out of order but that he's also behind bars :)

Your system is OUT OF ORDER!

My friend Herbalizer told me about an anti-Gaddafi-graffiti by out of order. It's located next to the Donaukanal close to Schwedenplatz, a true hot-spot for street art in Vienna.


Oh, I really loved that graffiti when I saw it today and felt very inspired to add a little girdafi. So let's just hope that I'll finish my knitting before the whole masterpiece on the wall will be crossed ;)

My dear sister Jill takes great photos with her girdafi-red pentax camera. I'm very happy that she joined me yesterday to document the installment of my second girdafi-yarnbomb:
