2005, development and positioning of a crayon vending machine, installation in public space, Nah und Gut, Artwalk Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

In the context of the exhibition Nah und Gut, Schlegel installed a vending machine on a corner of the Van Boetzelaarplein in Amsterdam. A cigarette dispenser was converted into a machine that dispensed beautiful high-quality colour crayons for a couple of cents. During the four weeks of its exhibition, children used these crayons and transformed the square into a mosaic of colourful drawings.
