About the project
For the Birds is an art project in public space with many contributors: visual artists, writers, architects and musicians, who where invited to participate, will create a birdhouse, an collective aeronautic sculpture garden. For the Birds are realized on different places. Their respective bird houses are individual contributions to a collective sculptural installation. An artistic reflection rather than a singular fixed structure.
