Today as we excitedly announce Sari Carel’s new multi-media installation The Shape of Play, set to debut in Fall 2020 in the North End’s Waterfront Park, we’re offering up insight into the ideas, concepts, research, and artistic and practical influences that inform the curatorial and collaborative process that get us from early renderings all the way to fully realized artwork. Read on to hear from leaders on the JArts and Now + There project team, as well as the artist about some of the things that have shaped The Shape of Play.
