You've seen the William T. Wiley exhibition. Now play the game! What, you haven't seen the show yet? Well, now's your opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. On Thursday, November 12, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., visitors will have a rare opportunity to play Wiley's Punball: Only One Earth, which includes his distinctive imagery. He based his punball machine on a 1964 pinball game called "North Star." Please note that playing time is limited to five minutes per person on a first-come, first-serve basis. But take your time perusing the rest of the show.

What's It All Mean: William T. Wiley in Retrospect runs through January 24, 2010.
