Press Information on BAUBAU: A Play Space for Kids

Press releases

Playing, laughing, making noise, letting off steam, doing nothing – all in an exhibition venue! With BAUBAU, the artist Kerstin Brätsch designed an admission-free play space for kids, where more is allowed than forbidden. On the Gropius Bau’s ground floor, colourful wallpapers, structures, objects and open-ended material called “loose parts” configure flexible spaces that are shaped by children’s activities. They set the tone and decide what happens in this place.

Zum Weiterlesen

„Fantastisch sind auch zwei neue Schauen [im Gropius Bau], die das, was man bisher für ein Museum hielt, auf den Kopf stellen. „BAUBAU“ ist ein kostenloser Indoor-Spielplatz, in dem mehr erlaubt ist als verboten. Perfekt ausbalanciert zwischen künstlerischer Installation und Wertschätzung für Kinder, ein fantasievolles Meisterwerk von Kerstin Brätsch.“

Berliner Morgenpost, 10.9.2024, Dassind die Höhepunkte der Berlin Art Week

 

In dem Zuge, in dem Brätsch die Malerei als ›pure‹ Kunst zunehmend in die Versteinerung und Erstarrung treibt, haucht sie ihr in Form einer anwendungsorientierten Gestaltung von gemeinsam belebten Orten wie Cafés oder nun eben einem Spielort neues Leben ein. Zukunft hat, was Verwendung findet. Zukunft hat, was gebraucht wird.
