kollabor

"kollabor" is the offering for small children and their adult companions: a space where art can be experienced hands-on.

Children aged 0 to 4 and their accompanying adults are warmly invited to the side-light gallery. A place has been set up there that enables encounters with art and free creative play, allowing small children to discover their surroundings with all of their senses, with their hands and feet.

Since the launch of kollabor, the sculpture Civilian Defense Vaduz by American artist Dan Peterman has been the centre point of this space: a thousand sandbags offer protection and invite you to explore – with your hands and feet. Build, sort and arrange the same number of elements made from recycled plastic, make towers with them and then take them apart again. The permanently installed works by American artist Dan Peterman (b. 1960 in Minneapolis, Minnesota) will be accompanied by alternating elements that focus on the themes of the current exhibitions.

Early aesthetic, cultural experiences and encounters with education are essential for a child's development. With the aid of the kollabor, Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein intends to contribute to aesthetic education in the field of visual arts and thus to implementation of UN children's rights from early childhood.

The name "kollabor" reveals another of the Kunstmuseum's main objectives: to enable and encourage collaborative processes. That means working together with individuals, groups or organisations, learning from one another and engaging in open-ended experiments. The topics and modes of use enabled in the kollabor are developed in a collaborative process of learning and working together with children, their accompanying adults, artists, art educators and teachers.

The project is sponsored by the Binding Foundation.
