The siblings Christine and Irene Hohenbüchler artistically redesigned the Children’s Rights Square in Vienna-Brigittenau for the 30th anniversary of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The existing sculpture, designed by students from the European School, was integrated into their work “see”. The area surrounding it with a soft floor “becomes a gym mat and space for movement, consisting of an indicated blue lake with a wave”, as it is called.
“The colorful redesign of the square for children’s rights is another focal point in the city and its colorfulness plays with the aesthetics of comics,” says Vienna’s Councilor for Culture, Veronica Kaup-Hasler (SPÖ), regarding the design of the square “in terms of tradition and further development of the play sculptures of the last century. This way children come into contact with contemporary art in public spaces at an early age and can deal with it in a playful way. ” The work was realized by KÖR Kunst in Vienna’s public space.
