On Friday, May 22, The Toledo Museum of Art quietly opened its major summer exhibition, Play Time. TMA visitors came to the museum and were surprised by curious, creative and lively interactive installations. Social media lit up with the lure of play: photos of adults and children playing in a large, crocheted hammock (Harmonic Motion, by Toshiko Horiuchi MacAdam and Charles Richard MacAdam) and interacting with a mutually-responsive, mysterious black orb (Ground Control, by Edith Dekyndt), or swinging in the sky (Swing Space, by Jillian Mayer) appeared like clockwork. To give Play Time the party is so clearly calls for, the TMA will host the Play Time Exhibit Celebration, allowing the exhibit sprawl across the campus. Monroe Street will shut down for the play date and the Redmoon Theater of Chicago will also perform.
6-10pm, Saturday June 13. Toledo Museum of Art, 2445 Monroe St. 419-255-8000. toledomuseum.org, playtime.toledomuseum.org
