“The Australian debut of the travelling exhibition The Playground Project—conceived by Swiss urban designer and political scientist Gabriela Burkhalter—arrives with an international pedigree… In Melbourne, however, it has taken on a character of its own, shaped by the suburb it is set in and the collaborations with local artists, architects and designers who have reimagined the project for an Australian context.

The Incinerator Gallery itself, designed in the 1930s by American architects Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin who are best known for their visionary design of the Australian capital of Canberra, becomes both a backdrop and a participant in this playful takeover, its history and architecture woven into the creative offerings dotting the gallery spaces.”
