Régalité
In october 2012, the renovation of the educational center of the Vienna Chamber of Labour has been completed by erecting the installation "Régalité" by Austrian artist Hans Schabus (*1970) in front of the building. The name of this huge bookshelf is the mix of the German word for "shelf" and the French "égalité" (equality) and emphasizes that education has to be accessible for everybody.
Mmmmm... "special"....

! Funny, it looks like the scaffolding they put around buildings they're cleaning here in Paris. "Régalité" is a great name, though, because it's close to the French "se régaler" as well!
ReplyDeleteI really thought that this looked like scaffolding, a temporary installation as it does not seem to "fit" the building. Interesting...
