This unique exhibition will utilize toys and games as a lens to explore important social, cultural, political, economical, and environmental themes in our society.
This exhibit is especially relevant because of recent press regarding toxic issues, studies emphasizing the importance of certain types of play, and how big business continues to promote war and violence and how issues of fear are affecting the youth of today. Additionally, the exhibition will highlight how toys and game inspire us to have fun, learn, collaborate and follow our dreams.
For this exhibition, which will be open from February 14 to December 31, 2008, the entire museum space will emulate the aesthetic of games. The exhibits will include such genres as video and computer games, educational toys, board games, dolls, puzzles, sports, game shows, and more. Nearly all artworks in the exhibition will be created by young artists, grades 6 through college level, in conjunction with The Revolving Museum’s educational programs and neighboring educational institutions.
More than 200 participants from Greater Lowell community are expected to be involved in the ambitious project. The highly interactive show will encourage the public to play, use its imagination, be challenged to solve problems, and possibly engage in physical exercise, storytelling, and teamwork. Our interaction with toys and games brings out the creativity and ingenuity in each of us.
