KAWS: PLAYTIME at the NGV

Made especially for KAWS: PLAYTIME, this multimedia interactive gives visitors of all ages the chance to play with different features of BFF and create a video portrait to share with friends.

KAWS’s sculptures of his characters are filled with human feeling and emotion such as loneliness and embarrassment. For young visitors, this touchscreen interactive featuring BFF tells a tale about feelings and the importance of friends and asks children to draw a friend for BFF. Finished drawings can then be shared with friends and family.

PLAYTIME continues when young visitors receive their own kit containing a pop-up surprise and a special set of alphabet stickers drawn by KAWS. Play is known as children’s work and this activity of playing with letters and spelling new words is the two rolled into one. Children can take their kit home and display proudly in their room.
