With “Moebling,” Ziegler has coined an English adaptation of the German word Moebel, which means “furniture.” With sarcastic references to the wellness mo- vement and the ever-expanding culture of self-optimization, Ziegler promotes Moebling as a practice offering a playful approach for “kinetic meditation” at home. The artist’s commandment is as simple as this: Turn your sofa, your table, your chairs, carpets, or vacuum cleaner into Moebling tools! His ongoing indoor project features public performances and ephemeral sculptures, as well as impro- visational theater staged with everyday objects.
