Installation work by Jesse Peck

Work, and Play

A photo essay.

The “Game On!” theme of this year’s City-Wide Open Studios has meant lots of games to play, especially last weekend at the expansive Goffe Street Armory.

Actually, attending Armory Weekend was itself a game, with levels (literally), power-ups (snacks in some rooms) and a mission: to see if you could see it all.

For me, even six hours of gameplay wasn’t enough to get the win, but it was enough to put together the largest photo essay we’ve ever published. Check out the email version of this story to see all the shots.
