How do five brightly colored balloons get into the foyer of an insurance company? «Five Smiles For You» is part of a work of art that the internationally acclaimed artist Jeppe Hein has installed in the entrance area of R+V in Wiesbaden. The project was accompanied by Häusler Contemporary.
The artist, who lives in Berlin, immediately convinced R+V in the course of a competition for the artistic design of the R+V foyer: «Jeppe Hein wants to stimulate people to communicate with his art. We are happy when our employees and guests talk to each other through the artworks with a smile, » says R+V boss Norbert Rollinger. «Not only transpiration is part of the job, but just as much inspiration. Art can give the economy valuable impulses and inspire us to new perspectives», Rollinger is convinced.
