The Meaning of Home
The Museum of Applied Arts exhibit in the Arenberg Park Flakturm was all about "home." Where do we live? What is in our living space? Where will we live in the future?
Since there was plenty of space for installations, we enjoyed two floors of large, thought-provoking, and sometimes interactive art.

Do we play in our homes?We had a great time tearing, throwing, and shuffling through paper.
And where do we sit?An "electric chair" made of legos? A chair made from a washing machine?
Or are we walking around so much that we don't have time to sit?
And what if there were no water? (the name of this installation) What would home look like?
Each little marker gave the name of a plant, the appearance, the origin, etc.
Do we live in our cars? And if we do, will our cars get fat?(This is a Ford, by the way.)
This is a model of our collective home--our "global village."From harbor to city, from countryside to industrial site, from desert to meadows -
the exhibit, with many iconic landmarks from all around the world,
took up much of the entire floor.
