Abstract
I describe a class of spin models with short--range plaquette interactions whose static equilibrium properties are trivial but which display glassy dynamics at low temperatures. These models have a dual description in terms of free defects subject to effective kinetic constraints, and are thus an explicit realization of the constrained dynamics picture of glassy systems.
