Was ist denn das? Eine orangefarbene Kugel mit Strahlenkranz schwebt \u00fcber die hellblaue Wand der Kinderkrippe in der Helgastra\u00dfe. Ist es eine Sonne oder vielleicht eine Urzelle, der Beginn allen Lebens? Aus der Urzelle k\u00f6nnte theoretisch alles entstehen, aber die M\u00fcnchner K\u00fcnstlerin Rita Hensen entwickelt den kleinen Strahlenball weiter zu einem Igel, einen Bewohner des urspr\u00fcnglich verwilderten Grundst\u00fccks.<\/p>\n
Wie selbstverst\u00e4ndlich scheint er die Treppe der Kinderkrippe hinaufzukrabbeln. Im oberen Treppenlauf beginnt er sich einzurollen, um schlie\u00dflich unter der Treppe als kleine stachelige Kugel einzuschlafen. \u201eWer schl\u00e4ft, der strahlt\u201c so lautet der Titel dieses Werkes und tats\u00e4chlich wirkt der schlafende Igel als w\u00fcrde er strahlen, denn die einfache Handzeichnung l\u00e4sst die Stacheln wie Strahlen erscheinen.<\/p>\n
Die Konturen des kleinen und pr\u00e4senten Tieres sind in einer orangefarbenen keramischen Schmelzfarbe auf drei kreisrunde Glasscheiben unterschiedlicher Gr\u00f6\u00dfe – 70, 80 und 100 cm im Durchmesser – eingebrannt. Jedes Glas ist angebracht auf einer entsprechend gro\u00dfen runden wei\u00dfen Fl\u00e4che innerhalb des hellen Blaus, in das die ganze Wand von unten bis oben gefasst ist.. Mit Abstand betrachtet, bilden sie auf der Wand die Eckpunkte eines Dreiecks.<\/p>\n
Der Farbklang von Orange, Wei\u00df und Hellblau mit dem Hellgr\u00fcn des Linoleumbodens taucht das Innere der Kinderkrippe in eine Atmosph\u00e4re von Ruhe und Ausgeglichenheit. Die luftig-leichte Farbgebung erinnert an einen zarten Fr\u00fchlingstag im Gr\u00fcnen mit wolkenlosem Himmel. Je nach Lichteinfall und Standpunkt werfen die Zeichnungen ein Schattenspiel auf die Wand und die Igel kommen in Bewegung. Die Kinder erhalten mit ihnen kleine Gef\u00e4hrten, die sie jeden Tag empfangen und sie bei ihren kleinen und gro\u00dfen Herausforderungen des Krippen-Alltags begleiten.<\/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":"Three round, clear glass plates, diameters: 100, 80, 70 cm; Handmade drawings fired with orange ceramic enamel paint ","werk_visibility":false,"werk_architect":"Klemens Lenz Architekt M\u00fcnchen","werk_architect_landscape":"Wendler Landschaftsarchitekten + Stadtplaner, M\u00fcnchen","werk_photograph":"Boris Storz","werk_author":"","werk_txt_long_en":"
What is that, anyway? Floating above the light blue wall of the daycare center on Helgastrasse is an orange-colored ball topped with a halo. Is it a kind of sun? Or perhaps a primordial cell, the beginning of all life? Theoretically, anything could emerge from a primordial cell, but the Munich-based artist Rita Hensen turns the sparkling little ball into a hedgehog, an inhabitant of this formerly overgrown piece of land.<\/p>\n
Quite naturally, it seems to be clambering up the stairs of the daycare center. As it reaches the upper section of the staircase, it begins to roll up, winding up as a spiky little ball falling asleep under the stairs. “Who Sleeps, Sparkles” is the title of this artwork, and in fact, the sleeping hedgehog looks as if it is sparking, because the simple handmade drawing makes its spikes look like rays of light.<\/p>\n
The contours of the small and present animal are fired in orange ceramic enamel paint onto three round glass plates in different sizes of 70, 80, and 100 cm. Each glass is mounted on a correspondingly large, round white surface set against the light blue color that covers the entire wall from bottom to top. Seen from a distance, they form the vertex of a triangle. Along with the light green of the linoleum floor, the color palette of orange, white, and light blue permeates the interior of the daycare center with an atmosphere of peace and tranquility.<\/p>\n
The airy, light color scheme is reminiscent of a fine spring day outdoors beneath a cloudless sky. Depending on the cast of light and the viewer\u2019s perspective, the drawings create a shadowplay on the wall and the hedgehog moves. Every day, the children are greeted by their little companions who accompany them during their big and little challenges throughout the day.<\/p>\n","werk_collections":[{"ID":7705,"post_author":"5","post_date":"2022-08-24 12:15:17","post_date_gmt":"2022-08-24 10:15:17","post_content":"","post_title":"Artworks in daycare centers (selection)","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"kunstwerke-in-kitas","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-04-28 16:24:47","post_modified_gmt":"2025-04-28 14:24:47","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/collection\/kunstwerke-in-kitas\/","menu_order":21,"post_type":"collection","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"werk_sort_data_artists":"Rita Hensen","werk_sort_data_access":"auf Anfrage zug\u00e4nglich","werk_sort_data_year":"2018","werk_sort_data_category":"Installation","werk_sort_data_district":"Trudering-Riem","werk_txt_context":""},"featured_image_src_1280":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/quivid-muenchen-rita-hensen-wer-schlaeft-der-strahlt-kunst-am-bau-2018-01.jpg-.jpg","featured_image_src_768":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/quivid-muenchen-rita-hensen-wer-schlaeft-der-strahlt-kunst-am-bau-2018-01.jpg-.jpg","artists":[{"name":"Rita Hensen","url":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/artist\/hensen-rita\/"}],"tax_category":"Installation","tax_access":"auf Anfrage zug\u00e4nglich","tax_district":"Trudering-Riem","tax_year":2018,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2649","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=2649"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2649\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6751,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2649\/revisions\/6751"}],"acf:attachment":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5427"}],"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\/3164"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2649"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2649"},{"taxonomy":"district","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/district?post=2649"},{"taxonomy":"access","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/access?post=2649"},{"taxonomy":"accessibility","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/accessibility?post=2649"},{"taxonomy":"space","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/space?post=2649"},{"taxonomy":"year","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/year?post=2649"},{"taxonomy":"gender","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gender?post=2649"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
