  A young girl sings while a random piano player performs to the public. "The idea for Play Me, I’m Yours came from visiting my local launderette. I saw the same people there each weekend and yet no one talked to one another. I suddenly realised that within a city, there must be hundreds of these invisible communities, regularly spending time with one another in silence. Placing a piano into the space was my solution to this problem, acting as a catalyst for conversation and changing the dynamics of a space." --Luke Jerram, International artist and creator of ‘Play Me, I’m Yours’ A touring interactive installation since 2008, some of these pianos were secondhand pieces that have been donated then shipped to various cities, at times where the instrument is rare. At the end of the temporary installation, many of the pianos are given to schools and the local community. Poignantly, since there are thousands of pianists who don’t have regular access to a piano, 'Play Me, I’m Yours’ gives them access to the instrument and allows them to share their talent by performing to the public. Thus the art piece is a gift to the public by the original owner, by the artist and ultimately by the musician. #placesthatgive #urbanism #placesforpeople #placemaking #urbandesign #sharedspaces #citylife #architecture #planning #design #publicspaces #cities #urbanart #piano #playmeimyours #streetart #streetperformance #giving
