How does one look at a shipping container and see a public space? Just ask German artists Wolfgang Winter and Berthold Hörbelt who took hundreds of bottle crates and perched them on a shipping container, creating a cool clubhouse.
But this type of creative work isn't new to them. The artists create art landmarks for public spaces all over the world. They work to reclaim lost public spaces and open people's eyes to the fact that art is an important vehicle to increase the quality of life, not only to make the city more beautiful. Winter/Hörbelt's beautiful, light filled crate-houses use recycled, everyday objects to build functional spaces for shelter, meeting and entertainment.
