<\/a>\u201cHappy Place,\u201d<\/a> pop-up at 500 Boylston St., Boston, April 5, to June 2, 2019<\/h2>\nA playground of sets in which to photograph selfies\u2014a room with a giant cookie, a bathtub in a room of rubber duckies, a confetti room, a rainbow with a pot of gold (plastic balls) to jump into. It\u2019s dazzling and bizarre and vacuous and silly and vaguely sad and also fun\u2014especially if you go with friends. Check out my photos<\/a>.<\/p>\n
