Zur deutschen Version dieses Artikels

Integral Hang 2009Contrary to various rumors and misunderstandings PANArt continues to build the Integral Hang in 2009. Periods when people can visit the Hangbauhaus and pick their Hanghang are already planned for summer and autumn. The Hang makers are sending letters inviting those who are able to purchase a Hang. The letters contain a statement where they outline their point of view regarding the Hang in the year 2009. The Hang: A sculpture, a listening device. Hang playing: Immersing oneself in a spherical world through intuitive play with the hands. Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer characterize the central aspect of their work as “harmony, equilibrium – proportion”.
