Sandboxers create sculpture that makes people SMILE
May 1st, 2010 by Fabian Pfortmüller
The beauty of working with Sandbox is that there is hardly a day when we’re not blown away by what our members create or achieve. Their work often inspires us and their ideas make us smile. The Office of PlayLab, Inc., the design company of Sandboxer Archie Lee Coates IV and Jeff Franklin, has recently designed a sculpture, Peep Show, which does exactly that: Peep Show is a made of twelve colorful shapes, called Peeps, stacked and fastened together to make a wall of mountainous ‘Peep’ holes, which offer someone what they don’t normally see: something that might make them smile. The guys at PlayLab help a much-needed public arts initiative called Art | Everywhere in transforming downtown Norfolk, Virginia’s downtown into one massive public gallery. It can be seen in one of 33 vacant storefronts on Granby St., from May 1 to July 1.
If you love their project as much as we do, check out their fundraiser page (with a wonderfully hilarious video!!), which allows them to pay the cost of this project and also continue them in the future. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/playlab/playlabs-peep-show.
