Notes from the Playground is a carefully selected anthology of thirty essays by American curator, scholar, and writer Richard flood. This new collection of his writings from the past forty years reveals an original and rigorous connection to the world of ideas, beauty, and the critical and aesthetic experience of our present times. Drawing from his broad knowledge of history, cinema, literature, poetry, design, and architecture, floods writings combine the autobiographical with the theoretical, presenting an intimate window into his years of working with contemporary artists. In many of the essays, he draws from personal correspondence between himself and the artists. Among them are an annotated conversation with Paul Thek discussing his works of wax made, raw meat facsimiles embedded in luxurious Plexiglas cases; four interviews with Robert Gober during the 1990s, offering vivid accounts of his sculptural and creative process; and a detailed description of a portrait sitting at Michael Landys studio. floods significant essay on Arte Povera, co-curated while at the Walker Art Center with frances Morris, Tate Modern director of collections, is also included. These fascinating and diverse essays interweave the anecdotal with the art historical to bring about new perspectives on the work and the contexts of the artists. Richard flood is currently curator at large at the new Museum (new York), where he has also served as chief curator. Prior to his 2005 appointment, flood was chief curator of the Walker Art Center (Minneapolis), where he organized a wide range of exhibitions, including Brilliant!: New Art from London and Zero to Infinity: Arte Povera 19621972 (a joint project with Tate Modern, London). flood has also been a curator at MoMA P.S.1, new York, and managing editor of Artforum magazin

"Beautifully written and suffused with dread. Jane Shemilt's domestic settings are seductively vivid, and the final outcome is profoundly shocking and terrifying." — Gilly Macmillan, New York Times bestselling author of The Nanny Big Little Lies meets Lord of The Flies in this electrifyingly twisty psychological thriller, follow-up to Jane Shemilt’s breakout debut The Daughter. Over the course of a long, hot summer in London, the lives of three very different married couples collide when their children join the same tutoring circle, resulting in illicit relationships, shocking violence, and unimaginable fallout. There’s Eve, a bougie earth mother with a well-stocked trust fund; she has three little ones, a blue-collar husband and is obsessed with her Instagrammable recipes and lifestyle. And Melissa, a successful interior designer whose casually cruel banker husband is careful not to leave visible bruises; she curates her perfectly thin body so closely she misses everything their teenage daughter is hiding. Then there’s Grace, a young Zimbabwean immigrant, who lives in high-rise housing project with her two children and their English father Martin, an award-winning but chronically broke novelist; she does far more for her family than she should have to. As the weeks go by, the couples become very close; there are barbecues, garden parties, a holiday at a country villa in Greece. Resentments flare. An affair begins. Unnoticed, the children run wild. The couples are busily watching each other, so distracted and self-absorbed that they forget to watch their children. No one sees the five children at their secret games or realize how much their family dynamics are changing until tragedy strikes. The story twists and then twists again while the three families desperately search for answers. It’s only as they begin to unravel the truth of what happened over the summer that they realize evil has crept quietly into their world. But has this knowledge come too late? "Countless psychological thrillers get compared to Big Little Lies; Shelmilt's is the real deal." — People

Notes from the Playground documents how childhood experiences - especially those that happen on the blacktop - shape who we become. These narratives arise from one principal's epiphany that came as he looked out over a hundred children, playing, running, yelling, laughing, and crying. He recognized that he stood in a place where millions of journeys begin. He had found the starting point for countless destinies. He went forward with a different vision for how we can, by affirming the child within ourselves and one another, make our lives truer and more vital than we might have imagined.

How filling life with play-whether soccer or lawn mowing, counting sheep or tossing Angry Birds -- forges a new path for creativity and joy in our impatient age Life is boring: filled with meetings and traffic, errands and emails. Nothing we'd ever call fun. But what if we've gotten fun wrong? In Play Anything, visionary game designer and philosopher Ian Bogost shows how we can overcome our daily anxiety; transforming the boring, ordinary world around us into one of endless, playful possibilities. The key to this playful mindset lies in discovering the secret truth of fun and games. Play Anything, reveals that games appeal to us not because they are fun, but because they set limitations. Soccer wouldn't be soccer if it wasn't composed of two teams of eleven players using only their feet, heads, and torsos to get a ball into a goal; Tetris wouldn't be Tetris without falling pieces in characteristic shapes. Such rules seem needless, arbitrary, and difficult. Yet it is the limitations that make games enjoyable, just like it's the hard things in life that give it meaning. Play is what happens when we accept these limitations, narrow our focus, and, consequently, have fun. Which is also how to live a good life. Manipulating a soccer ball into a goal is no different than treating ordinary circumstances- like grocery shopping, lawn mowing, and making PowerPoints-as sources for meaning and joy. We can "play anything" by filling our days with attention and discipline, devotion and love for the world as it really is, beyond our desires and fears. Ranging from Internet culture to moral philosophy, ancient poetry to modern consumerism, Bogost shows us how today's chaotic world can only be tamed-and enjoyed-when we first impose boundaries on ourselves.
