John Heron’s outstanding and imaginative video, where an inflatable house is installed in between two houses and elsewhere in an abandoned lot.
The Play House, a multi-purpose aluminum 8x8' cube, is a new nomadic version of artist-curator Marianne Bernstein's previous project, The Welcome House (Love Park, 2009). During DesignPhiladelphia 2011, The Play House will debut in the University of the Arts Lot on Broad Street, from October 19-23. Twelve artists teams have been invited to activate vacant lots throughout Philadelphia and document it through short films. These films will be projected on the spandex shell of the Play House from 7-10pm along with other installations by architecture students at PennDesign. Performance schedule from 4-7pm TBA.
The Play House was designed in collaboration with Daryn Edwards of Interface Studio Architects and fabricated by EnMotion Design. Video production by Kevin Francis Farrell and Peter Parker Brodhead. Special thanks to Kelsey Halliday Johnson, David Kessler, Stephen Gardner, Diane Burko and Richard Ryan, Hilary Jay, and Gamble- Huff Music. Contact us
