Homo Ludens: Play, Subversion, And The Unfinished Work Of Constant’S New Babylon, Kristen Lee Kubecka

Senior Projects Spring 2018

This project explores Johan Huizinga’s theory of play with respect to art, space, and politics. Tracing the ways that his text, Homo Ludens, played out within the revolutionary avant-gardes of CoBrA and the Situationist International, as well as Constant’s utopian project of New Babylon, it investigates the subversive and reconstructive power of play as a counter-paradigm to the rationalist urbanism of postwar reconstruction.
