site-specific installation

TITLE: NATURMUSEUM STAINZ - AUSSENSTELLE / NATURE MUSEUM STAINZ - OUTBUILDING

SHORT DESCRIPTION: The former lodge of a weigh bridge in the West Styrian town of Stainz was reconstructed. It became an outbuilding of an imaginary nature museum. The little building was adapted in order to host a life-size model of a giraffe (4.5m tall) in a glass cabinet. The town’s landmark is the Castle Stainz with its well-known hunting museum.

LOCATIONS: On the corner Kärntner Strasse / Badgasse, Stainz Austria

CONTEXT: Permanent work in the scope of 'Freizeichen'. In collaboration with Kunst im öffentlichen Raum Steiermark and Rotor (Graz)
