Playscape for V&A Dundee as designers respond to pandemic

Playscape for V&A Dundee as designers respond to pandemic

Chalk playscape at V&A Dundee

The area outside V&A Dundee has been transformed into a giant interactive painted playground, as part of a collaboration with Abertay University.
The colourful chalk playscape aims to show the importance of playing together, even when you can鈥檛 be physically close.
Created by Abertay lecturers Dr Lynn Love and Dr Mona Bozdog, the installation is designed to allow visitors to interact and play games with one another while maintaining 2-metre social distancing.
The 150 square metre playscape contains six innovative games and experiences, including a painted garden, Echo 鈥 a soundscape which takes advantage of unique architecture, and 鈥楩ollow The Leader鈥, in which players replicate the actions of one participant.
The Chalk Playscape is part of a free exhibition Now Accepting Contactless: Design in a Global Pandemic opening at V&A Dundee Thursday 27 August. The exhibition will bring together objects revealing the many ways designers and communities have used their skills to adapt to life during the Coronavirus pandemic.
Dr Lynn Love, from Abertay鈥檚 School of Design and Informatics, said: 鈥淚鈥檓 really excited to see how people interact with the playscape, which is designed to encourage people to interact with friends and strangers in a safe, socially distanced way.
鈥淎lthough a lot of awful things have come out of the pandemic, one thing that has returned is a sense of community. I鈥檓 excited to see how people interact with the playscape.
鈥淣ot only will people be able to enjoy the games we鈥檝e created, the design allows people to get creative and come up with their own unique games.
鈥淰isitors will be able to find empty leaves in the Chalk Garden that we have created and can use chalk to contribute their own pictures and messages.鈥
The project is inspired by , an international online movement that encourages engagement with space through playful interventions, a community Dr Love has been an active participant in.
She added: 鈥淭he work that Mona and I do usually encourages people to interact with one another while being physically close together.
鈥淭he pandemic means we鈥檝e had to think a lot about how we can maintain these playful interactions in a safe way.
鈥淲e鈥檝e relished the opportunity of bringing some of these ideas to the heart of Dundee, and we hope that it will allow families and visitors to engage, enjoy and perhaps feel inspired.鈥
Kirsty Hassard, V&A Dundee, Curator of Now Accepting Contactless, said: 鈥淚t鈥檚 been great to work together with Lynn and Mona on realising the project. Their Chalk Playscape will encourage visitors to think about and interact with the space around the museum in new ways. We wanted the new exhibition to occupy spaces within and out with the building, and hope visitors will enjoy visiting and interacting with it.鈥
The Chalk Playscape will remain outside V&A Dundee until 17 January 2021.
