MQ Forecourt

As part of this year's MQ winter program, a new, luminous sentence will shine daily on the main facade of the MuseumsQuartier, visible from afar, giving each new day a very special, new meaning.

For this purpose, starsky creates sentences that can be grasped at a glance, critical questions, short and to the point on the state of the world and the burning issues of our time - multi-layered word games with ambiguous room for interpretation, eloquent ramblings and sentences. At the same time, however, the sentences also send visions into the world: of living together in human rights and dignity, of treating the world with respect - they inspire thought and action.

In the courtyard, a magic of light and play awaits the visitors: the courtyard of visions, the land of utopias, the magic forest of art and vision. The floor is illuminated with projections that are at once works of art and toys. Constantly moving and changing, the images flow into each other, separate again, overlap and dissolve again: a dance of shapes, colors, graphic elements and words. At the same time, the facades shine with good wishes, sending their light full of positive energy into the universe.

What makes you think about the state of your world at the entrance turns into utopias and visions of a better world inside.
