Jessie, thanks so much for this reflection on imagination in PlayTime artist Robin Rhode’s work. We’re glad you could join us! #Repost @sometimesjess ・・・ Robin Rhode works in post apartheid South Africa which might account for the way fantasy comes to life in his photographs. Using chalk or charcoal he draws playful scenarios on walls or streets of his neighborhood and puts himself into each scene for a triumphant photo. In this photo, one in a series called “Four Plays,” he’s created an awesome trajectory for an imagined basketball and made himself the player. #pemplaytime #robinrhode Posted on March 7, 2018March 4, 2019 by goplay

Half the air in a given space! Curator Trevor Smith wades in to Martin Creed’s Work No. 329. We’re just days away from PlayTime and we can’t wait to share the exhibition with you. #Repost @presenttense99 ・・・ NowHere (balloons) with the snow blowing in we’ve had to delay the opening of #pemplaytime by 24 hours… but can’t wait to share the work of @martin_creed with you! Thanks to @renniecollect for the loan of this fantastic work in which exactly half the air in a given space is enclosed in 16” pink balloons. It was fun watching the team from Baloonatics fill the room. It took about four hours and we can’t wait to welcome you!

One stitch closer! Curator Trevor Smith offers a glimpse of the installation for Sweater, pink by Erwin Wurm (@erwinwurm). #Repost @presenttense99 with @get_repost ・・・ NowHere (handwork) the end of a long installation week with much accomplished. A lot of detail work goes into a final product that appears crisp and inevitable (as one mentor put it to me many years ago). Here Johanna Lakner from @erwinwurm studio puts the finishing touches to Sweater – a piece of clothing made for architecture. @pemplaytime #pemplaytime @peabodyessex #peabodyessexmuseum #knit Posted on January 27, 2018March 4, 2019 by goplay
Trevor Smith, PEM’s Curator of the Present Tense, offers a look at the installation process for PlayTime artist Angela Washko’s video game–based work. Just a few weeks until opening! #pemplaytime #Repost @presenttense99 with @get_repost ・・・ NowHere (digital dirt) For #pemplaytime @peabodyessex @angelawashko has produced an installation that is an overview of the works that she produced inside of #worldofwarcraft from 2012-2017. This week the installers came to lay down the floor for the installation which is derived from the landscape in the game itself. While we are presenting a contained immersive installation, I greatly admire how #angelawashko produced her work inside the game itself. At Its peak WoW had some 10 million active players. Museum visitation is not this large of course, but can be great places for reflection and for playful engagement with complex realities. #peabodyessexmuseum @pemplaytime Posted on January 22, 2018March 4, 2019 by goplay
