Exhibition Label: "Summer in the Central Court," Jun-2006, Kate Meyer With available sunlight shimmering late into the evening and no school in the morning, summer beckons us outside to enjoy good weather and simply play. Armed with sunscreen, bug spray, and lawn chairs, we travel to the park and the pool. Some classic summer activities have fallen from favor - the local ballgame rarely prompts a parade these days, and the few remaining drive-in theaters collect more weeds than movie tickets. Artists transform summer rituals and activities from classic to extraordinary as Tom Huck lampoons the momentous arrival of a new fast food restaurant in Potosi, Missouri, in Playland: The Great Sharkburger Shortage of '95. Likewise, Tal Streeter’s gigantic Japanese-inspired kite dwarfs viewers in the gallery, but its fifteen foot span and striking red line would also dominate our field of vision in an open, blue sky. As play becomes spectacle, summer inspires as it entertains.
