“Most people spend their lives living in dreary, beige conformity, mortally afraid of using colours. The main purpose of my work is to provoke people into using their imagination and make their surroundings more exciting.” - Verner Panton
i almost never can go to a museum in the day time, that is the time slot for tourists.
The verner panton exhibit is an eye opener, an assault of bright psychedelic colours that works so well there must be science behind it. I enjoy the almost fully enclosed environment called the visiona. It is a playground for adults where one will be totally enveloped. You can jump around, climb up and down or merely take a shut-eye at a corner of your favourite colour. You cant help but feel safe, yet it is anything but boring reminding me of a Stanley Kubrick movie.
