For the public space project, the artists produce posters, flyers, stickers, beer glasses, coffee mugs and a newspaper with various texts in German and English. The design of the text blocks is kept simple in two colours, without decoration or particularly striking typography. The artists wanted to emphasise the content and the message. The texts are based on quotations whose authors are not mentioned in detail. The texts refer to themes such as art, relationships, reality, thought or even tourism.
The text boards are placed along Klenzestrasse in supermarkets, kiosks, schools and other public places. In addition, printed glasses or cups are handed out to guests in eateries (e.g. Bergwolf, Café Maria, Klenze 17). This happens almost casually during daily business and everyone can take the cup or glass with them and continue the project.
