    Kickin’ Back is a juried and invitational exhibition at the Philadelphia Art Alliance in collaboration with Andrew Dahlgren. Designers and architects from the Mid-Atlantic region were selected based upon their interpretations of the concept of leisure that either complement and/or comment upon what constitutes contemporary states of rest or play. From public spaces such as retail environments and parks, to objects that provide comfort or promote interaction in private environments, the work featured in the exhibition provokes questions about what surrounds people in their daily lives, and elaborates on how design impacts our downtime. Based on four interpretations of the term leisure, the works featured in the exhibition reflect how we as a culture enjoy objects and spaces meant for enjoyment. From prototypes and one of kind or custom objects to small batch productions, the themes of play, entertainment, relaxation and leisurewear are featured throughout the second floor galleries.
