The One Lab
Children's rooms – infinite and limited
Some young people do not have their own children's room. This means that the entire living space of the family could become a playroom. Others, on the other hand, have a separate area that is set up especially for them, as a place of retreat, a playroom, or a meeting place. In one laboratory, artistic processes can be explored playfully under the special aspects of space and memory.
Do you remember? The long afternoons on the sofa during family visits, until you discover that with your index finger and a little pressure, you can draw wonderful patterns and lines in the plush fabric of your seats... Based on an idea by Marie from the KinderKunstLabor team – she remembered this very thing – the left wall is covered entirely with bright blue-green velour fabric. Draw, press, scratch, squeeze, draw lines, spots, dots. You can also leave marks with objects. You can erase the shapes at any time with the squeegee.
But there's more: there are three wooden boxes in front of the windows. Two of them are light boxes. The third box is a magic box on which you can paint with sticks and your fingers – without any paint.* Here, too, you can erase everything at any time with a squeegee. Above each box is a camera that shows your games and experiments live on the right-hand wall of the laboratory.
In addition, there are a wide variety of objects and materials on the light boxes for experimentation, with no prescribed instructions for use, allowing for free exploration. The aim is to experience creative activity together.
