Duck art conquers Vienna: The first Duck Hotel in Mariahilf!

Brückengasse, 1060 Wien, Österreich - A completely new chapter in the Vienna Art Landscape is the multidisciplinary artist ana full creature . With the opening of the first "Duck Hotel" in Vienna Mariahilf, a creative and participatory installation is presented, which happily enriches everyday life in the city. The small but fine mini installation is located in Brückengasse and pulls the views with numerous plastic ducks with its unconventional facade, decorated with numerous plastic ducks.

The project, designed as the "Take One, Give One", encourages passers -off to become creative themselves. Inspired by a viral video from London, where a “Duck Library” focus was on, full creature sees the spread of plastic ducks as a possibility of bringing joy and accessibility to the urban space. "Build up once, and then I can let go," said the artist. Your goal: to persuade people to take part and make their own ducks and take them with them to promote creativity in urban space. However, the hotel was only visible for two weeks and then disappeared under unclear circumstances whether it was removed or taken away.

full creatures and their art

ana full creature is not only the driving force behind this unique hotel, but also an artist who has been working with topics such as social participation, self -determination and social justice for years. Your works and projects often contain critical mind games and address inequalities in society. A look at her work shows how she crosses the limits of art and everyday life with paintings, drawings and installative work. In her previous exhibitions, such as "Secret Exhibition. WETH WETH TEATS" or "UTOPIA.EXE", she has always created spaces that provide insights into her ideas and concepts.

Again and again participatory elements are the focus of their work. This form of art ensures that the dialogue is encouraged with the audience and offers everyone the opportunity to get involved. Comparable to other projects in public spaces, such as that of Dorit Ehlers in Salzburg or Daniel Dancer from the USA, which appeal to social and ecological topics by means of art, it is important how important is that art is also present in everyday life and not only in museums and galleries remains.
