de Appel presents CaccHho CucchhA, a scenographic exhibition by Mercedes Azpilicueta that treats play as invention, disobedience, and commons making. Commissioned by de Appel, the project unfolds as an immersive ecosystem of modular sculptural costumes, play platforms and a large tapestry, activated through an ongoing series of workshops with children, families, and invited collaborators.

The Magic Circle:
Playing Outside Time
Playing Outside Time
Play is not a rehearsal for culture, it is its most elemental form. From the Amsterdam playgrounds of Aldo van Eyck to the subversive laughter of Sutton-Smith’s ambiguity, this symposium proposes a radical repositioning of children not as visitors, but as co-constructors of cultural meaning. During the symposium we discuss topics with which we have been engaged with during the process of working on the exhibition CaccHho CucchhA, where we ask questions about play in relation to other aspects of artistic work and urgent topics of our times.
