EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a press viewing at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, Nash House, The Mall in November 1969. The exhibition showcased toys, games, and playables created by individuals working in the field of visual arts rather than professional toy designers. In this particular moment frozen in time, we see children joyfully engaging with one of the exhibits - the Body Ball. Created by Garth Evans, a talented sculptor from London aged 35 at that time, this rubber ball seems to have captured their imagination. The image exudes pure childhood bliss as these youngsters revel in the simple pleasure of play. Their laughter echoes through the room as they bounce and toss the ball around with unbridled enthusiasm. It is evident that for them, this experience transcends mere entertainment; it is an opportunity to explore their creativity and engage with art on a tactile level. Transporting us back to the vibrant atmosphere of the swinging sixties, this photograph encapsulates an era where fun knew no bounds. It serves as a reminder that even amidst a world dominated by technology and screens today, there is still immense value in embracing traditional forms of play that ignite our imaginations and foster human connection.
