The Lynn Tendler Bignell Gallery
August 20 to October 8, 2006

This unique group exhibition was curated for Brookfield
Craft Center by Suzanne Ramljak, editor of
Metalsmith magazine. The concept of the show is
play, which the curator believes is "a key component
of every culture and a necessary part of our individual
development." Some theorists have even posited a
"play instinct" that must find fulfillment in various
forms. The artists selected for this show have provided
work that is intended to be played with by grown-ups.
Whether wearable or freestanding, all of the objects
on display invite interaction and help catalyze
our sense of wonder and joy. The participating artists
were: Sarah Doremus, Yael Friedman, Mark Hartung,
Kristin Lora, Felieke van der Leest, Miel-Margarita
Paredes, Barbara Walter, Tom & Kathy Wegman, and
David & Roberta Williamson. This show was made
possible by The Lynn Tendler Bignell Foundation
