This summer, Public Art Fund’s exhibition
Between Tides features six newly commissioned sculptural ping-pong tables by emerging and mid-career artists, including Amalia Pica.
Her work,
Fair Play, is a multiplayer ping-pong table composed of eight modules spelling out “FAIR PLAY” using the International Code of Signals—a colorful system historically used for maritime communication. Suspended fabric flags reading “COME PLAY” extend an open invitation to gather, socialize, and play.
Public Art Fund and RISE invite you to craft a maritime flag that will become part of the installation. Each participant will receive a $100 stipend.
Instructions- Select one of the letters in “COME PLAY” using the multiple-choice question below.
- Templates and instructions to craft each letter are available here.
