Until the 1980s – and in rare cases until today – playgrounds were places for social experiments, risky projects, and spectacular sculptures. Architects, urban planners, artists, parents, and children were invited to leave their comfort zone and to venture something new.
The Playground Project will bring many of these exemplary, but nowadays forgotten initiatives, pioneering acts, and adventures back with a playground in which children can run, hide and climb.
The Playground Project is exhibited in cooperation with Kunsthalle Zürich
