KRINA KÖNIGSMANN
'KRISEN-MALBUCH', 2021
Ink on paper, 21.0 x 29.7 cm, digitalized for free download between April 2021 and June 2021
Due to the pandemic of wanting to democratize art more to the point of zero marginal costs, a coloring book for special crisis was created for free download. Because it is a predominantly nonverbal medium, coloring books are widely used by all ages and backgrounds, even if the target audience does not speak or understand the primary language of communication. Engaging in their own coloring book brings adults back to a sense of childhood. They also provide an opportunity to break away from technology and add coloring freely as well. In the 60s, American coloring books found political application for the first time, which continues to this day.
