    polis: In Full Swing

    Quoted: it seems like others have shared an affinity to the format. Last year, London-based Bruno Taylor installed a swing in a bus stop as a way to introduce the element of incidental play into the public space. Yes Duffy of Activist Architecture took a more active role in 2004's Memefest by installing and participating in swings anywhere suspension is available in pedestrian streets.

    Quoted: In many ways, art creates an accepted context of exploration for new ideas and experiences. By introducing art installations into public spaces, they not only redefine the space itself, but extend an invitation to the public to participate. And much like playgrounds, these installations can provide an inviting context for exploration while casually redefining the boundaries of experience and participation.

    Quoted: The mannequins in Yinka Shonibare's exhibition at the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art might be missing a crucial body part, but they more than make up for it in subtext. Shonibare's sculptures take on climate change, class, race and exploitation, all without losing their playful edge.
