Mark Perez's super-sized version of the classic children's board game has to be seen — and seen in action — to be believed. The interactive kinetic sculpture blows up the game's Rube Goldberg-inspired series of chain reactions to the scale of a Claes Oldenburg installation, and includes an actual elevated bathtub. But such a spectacle wouldn't be complete without a sideshow. New old-timey bands like the Hobo Gobbelins and the Slow Prisoner provide musical entertainment, alongside an ax-throwing contest, wacky updates of bingo and tic-tac-toe, and a museum of oddities.
