Neon work, Hannes Vogel *1938 and Petruschka Vogel *1943

"Trara, the mail is here, trara, the mail is here! From far away you can hear the sound, the postillion blows his little song. He blows with a strong throat, he blows with a happy soul. The mail is here, trari, trara, the mail is here, trara". This is the sound of the first verse of a German folk and children's song called "Das Lied von der Post". With the universally known phrase "Trari, trara, die Post ist da" Hannes and Petruschka Vogel make their artistic statement about a specific place. Their neon work is visible from the entire Bahnhofplatz and refers to the entrance to the post bus station. Hannes and Petruschka Vogel have been working together since 1989, primarily on projects for art on buildings and art in public spaces. The list of their site-specific interventions is long. Among them is the crescent moon enthroned on the top of the dome of the Bündner Kunstmuseum, which glows yellow at night. The actual motivation for this work of art was the conversion, restoration and renovation work on the Villa Planta between 1987 and 1989.
