Seltene Bl\u00fcten wachsen im Haus f\u00fcr Kinder an der Neuhauser Josef-Obenhin-Stra\u00dfe 1. In den Boden des \u00fcberdachten Eingangsbereiches sind von der T\u00fcr ausgehend vier Intarsien-Stiele eingelassen; drei von ihnen m\u00fcnden in steinerne Blumen, die plastisch aus der Fl\u00e4che treten: Eine dreibl\u00e4ttrige Bl\u00fcte aus hellem Jura-Kalkstein und eine vierbl\u00e4ttrige Sch\u00f6nheit aus Eifel-Basalt nehmen eine pr\u00e4chtige f\u00fcnfbl\u00e4ttrige Blume aus rotem Asiago-Marmor in ihre Mitte. Die gebogenen Stiele bestehen aus gr\u00fcnem Granit, der \u00e4u\u00dferste von ihnen windet sich in eine angedeutete Spirale, deren Ende um die Hausecke weist.<\/p>\n
Die M\u00fcnchner K\u00fcnstlerin Rita Hensen hat die \u201eSteinblumen-Blumensteine\u201c entworfen, deren Durchmesser zwischen 120 und 150 Zentimeter variieren. Sie setzt dabei auf ein universelles Motiv, das f\u00fcr die Begegnung mit der Natur steht und fand daf\u00fcr elementare, harmonische Formen von hoher Pr\u00e4gnanz. Den Kindern und ihren Eltern, die t\u00e4glich ins Haus f\u00fcr Kinder kommen, bieten die Blumen einerseits Sitzgelegenheiten in drei H\u00f6hen \u2013 sie sind 25, 35 und 45 Zentimeter hoch \u2013 und regen andererseits den kindlichen Impuls an, von Stein zu Stein zu springen. Zugleich sorgen die Rundung der Kanten sowie die verschiedene K\u00f6rnung und Politur der Oberfl\u00e4chen f\u00fcr eine hohe haptische Qualit\u00e4t und animieren zum Tasten und Anfassen. Die gr\u00fcnen Platten der Stiele laden wiederum dazu ein, gehend oder h\u00fcpfend ihrem Verlauf zu folgen.<\/p>\n
Dar\u00fcber hinaus schafft Rita Hensen mit ihrem Kunstwerk eine Verbindung von Innen- und Au\u00dfenraum, vom Haus f\u00fcr Kinder zu seiner Umgebung. Dabei stehen die von innen nach au\u00dfen wachsenden \u201eSteinblumen \u2013 Blumensteine\u201c auch symbolisch f\u00fcr die Kinder, die mit der Zeit ihren gesch\u00fctzten Raum verlassen und die Welt zu erkunden beginnen.<\/p>\n","werk_artists":[{"ID":1327,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-06-28 16:30:26","post_date_gmt":"2022-06-28 14:30:26","post_content":"1960\t\tgeboren in Bedburg\/Erft\n1982\u201388\tStudium an der Akademie der Bildenden K\u00fcnste M\u00fcnchen\n\nSeit 1988 eigenes Atelier, Arbeit als freischaffende bildende K\u00fcnstlerin","post_title":"Rita Hensen","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"hensen-rita","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-19 18:17:24","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-19 16:17:24","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/artist\/hensen-rita\/","menu_order":129,"post_type":"artist","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"werk_technical_data":"","werk_technical_data_en":"","werk_visibility":false,"werk_architect":"Karlundp Architekten, M\u00fcnchen","werk_architect_landscape":"Werner Franz Landschaftsarchitekt, M\u00fcnchen","werk_photograph":"Jens Weber","werk_author":"Roberta De Righi","werk_txt_long_en":"
Rare flowers grow in the daycare center at Josef Obenhin Strasse 1 in Neuhaus, a neighborhood of Munich. Below the covered entrance in front of the door, four stems are inlaid in the ground. Three of them culminate in stone flowers that rise up three-dimensionally out of the surface: one three-leafed bloom made of light Jura limestone and a four-leafed beauty made of Eifel basalt are on either side of a magnificent, five-leafed flower of red Asiago marble in the center. The bent stems are made of green granite; the outermost one ends in a spiral that points around the corner of the building.<\/p>\n
The Munich-based artist Rita Hensen designed Stone Flowers \u2013 Flower Stones, whose diameters vary from 120 to 150 centimeters. Here, she relies upon a universal motif representing a meeting with nature, finding elementary, harmonic, highly concise forms for it. For the children and parents who arrive at the daycare center every day, the flowers offer seating at three different heights\u201425, 35, and 45 centimeters\u2014and at the same time inspire the kids to leap from stone to stone. Simultaneously, the rounded edges and various grains and polishes on the surfaces comprise a strongly haptic feature that invites touch. In turn, the green plates of the stems tempt people to follow their course, either walking or hopping.<\/p>\n
Hensen\u2019s artwork also creates a connection between the building\u2019s interior and exterior, as well as between the daycare center and its environment. Growing from the inside to the outside, the Stone Flowers \u2013 Flower Stones are also symbolic of the children, who, over time, leave their protected space and begin to explore the world.<\/p>\n","werk_collections":false,"werk_sort_data_access":"\u00f6ffentlich zug\u00e4nglich","werk_sort_data_year":"2017","werk_sort_data_category":"Skulptur\/ Plastik","werk_sort_data_district":"Neuhausen-Nymphenburg","werk_sort_data_artists":"Rita Hensen"},"featured_image_src_1280":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/quivid-muenchen-rita-hensen-steinblumen-blumensteine-kunst-am-bau-2017-01.jpg.jpg","featured_image_src_768":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/quivid-muenchen-rita-hensen-steinblumen-blumensteine-kunst-am-bau-2017-01.jpg.jpg","artists":[{"name":"Rita Hensen","url":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/artist\/hensen-rita\/"}],"tax_category":"Skulptur \/ Plastik","tax_access":"\u00f6ffentlich zug\u00e4nglich","tax_district":"Neuhausen-Nymphenburg","tax_year":2017,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2559","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2559"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2559\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6031,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2559\/revisions\/6031"}],"acf:attachment":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5449"}],"acf:post":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist\/1327"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3294"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2559"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2559"},{"taxonomy":"district","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/district?post=2559"},{"taxonomy":"access","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/access?post=2559"},{"taxonomy":"accessibility","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/accessibility?post=2559"},{"taxonomy":"space","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/space?post=2559"},{"taxonomy":"year","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/year?post=2559"},{"taxonomy":"gender","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gender?post=2559"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
