The Play Book

$40.00

The Play Book, the initial offering of Proteotypes, is published in conjunction with the Proteus Gowanus 2007-8 theme “Play.” Beyond a text-- not a catalogue-- designed for play and ready to use, The Play Book collects artist’s interpretations and configurations of play, ready to cut, fold, paste, and assemble.  Included are a match game, a word game, a word maze, a geometric puzzler, paper dolls, an automaton, a miniature card deck, a flip-book, and a toy theater. Other features include images of play and games, pages of anagrams and palindromes, ponderings on the meaning of play, conundrums by Lewis Carroll, and a short play by Gertrude Stein. Come play along!
