PLAY, an exhibition of sculpture, photography, film and performance, explores the notion of play as an art form. The aspiration is to present an exhibition that investigates the frivolity of play in conjunction with the reception of the mediums on exhibition, and distract viewers from the formalities and seriousness so often felt when considering art. By taking the exhibition outdoors, PLAY implores viewers to interact, touch and play with the artworks and to reinterpret the notion of play within a contemporary setting.
