This exhibition takes play as its core concept, exploring play as playfulness, performance, and process.
As Paul Valéry observed, if children are healthy, they are “monsters” for play and activity. They constantly tear apart, split, and rebuild.
Similarly, Yoko Ono described her book Grapefruit as a form of “therapy”. Being mischievous and childlike can empower people to process pain. The spirit of play offers the possibility for experiences to be re-narrated and reconstructed.
In this exhibition, artists are invited to engage with the space and the audience, creating works imbued with a strong sense of playfulness. We welcome works across all media and materials.
We also encourage spontaneous creation that emerges within the space itself, including music, theatre, performance art, and participatory installations.
