The new exhibit at the Palo Alto Art Center is called Play! An artful approach to make us realize that we all need to be more playful.
The first installment entering the gallery reminded me of my son’s wish when he was younger that he wanted a rollercoaster in the house. The slide came out of the wall and connected with colorful paths up and down the wall.
The most fascinating installment for me was the moving globes. Nils Voelker’s Bits and Pieces felt like they are doing a dance for us.
My son retreated to the nook, folding origami objects.
We all enjoyed Andy Warhol’s and Billy Kluver’s Silver Clouds. We spent quite some time throwing the silver balloons towards the fan.
The Art Center also offers events around the theme of play: A Season of Play offers a lot of family workshops from integrational playdates to stop-motion animation.
Where do you go and play?
Nice personal touch on your adventuresome discoveries.
Thank you!
