Child in the City of Play: MoMA Playground Symposium Details

Saul Bass, Model Playscape 1961, as published in Graphis 97

I'm looking forward to meeting  readers at the Child in the City of Play symposium at MoMA this Friday.  Just to clear up some confusion, I am not speaking, but images from the blog are serving as a visual backdrop for the day and I'll be there for the duration, so do say hello!

If you don't have a ticket, you can

• follow the live stream of the event:  livestream.com/museummodernart,
• chance the stand-by line beginning at 12pm in the lobby at 4 W. 54 St. 
• join me and Sharon Unis of Pop-Up Adventure Play Saturday morning 10 am at Le Pain Quotidien right inside Central Park near 69th and CPW for an impromptu walk around the playgrounds (with wider excursions to follow based on the weather and everyone's inclination...). 

See you soon!
