For Rent: Babette Wagenvoort's Mood Enhancing Drawings For Your Home.

Mood Swing - an investigation into the atmosphere of your living space leads to mood enhancing drawing for your home*.
In our homes we try to create an atmosphere that suits us. However, neither the colours we pick for our walls, nor the height of the ceiling, nor the furniture we choose define all of the atmosphere in a house.
The mood of the persons using a room also contribute to how we experience a space. How else is it possible that a room which was cosy and warm yesterday, today seems stuffy and dark, with the walls closing in on you?
Why does the atmosphere of a whole house change when someone comes home in a fowl mood? And why are there also times when it doesn't matter at all what mood the other occupiers of a space are in?
People who rent 'Mood Swing' are examined by the artist. They receive a questionaire and fill in their moods and their 'mood-wishes'. The answers are used by the artist to create a work of 'mixed feelings', with which she doesn't only visualize the mood(s) of a household, but also tries to infuence it.
* no scientific conclusions should be drawn from artistic research findings.

Het stemmingenalfabet van beeldend kunstenaar/illustrator Babette Wagenvoort is een verzameling van zestig lijntekeningen, die de positieve en negatieve kanten van dertig gemoedstoestanden in een unieke, eigen beeldtaal vastleggen. Van direct toegankelijk, tot bizar en onvoorspelbaar. 
Hoewel het boek op zichzelf staat, vinden de tekeningen hun oorsprong in het project 'Mood Swing' dat de kunstenaar ontwikkelde voor 'Het Nieuwe Huren'. 
Dit wetenschappelijk onverantwoorde boekje - ontworpen door Rieme Gleijm - bevat bovendien vijf uitklapbare samengestelde tekeningen: de 'gemengde gevoelens'.
