Abstract

Making materials are offered along the bench looking out to the Knowledge Walk, with a diorama made from household items and toy farm animals. The Corner provides a welcoming sanctuary, a curated experience, a dynamic space and an opportunity for learning through play. Being drawn into its immediate flow of activity is both inevitable and irresistible. The Corner easily achieves what J. Birch describes as the “unpackaging” of the adult: child binary via a shift from child as learner to child as “experiencer, " through an invitation for all to play. Attention to material agency and dynamic transactions in the design and curatorial elements of museum spaces offer a means to see what emerges in being with entities in The Corner and to offer explanations of the dynamism of transactions - the rhythms, culture and energy.
