PLAY is an in-depth look at materials exploration, including new uses for existing materials, recycling and upcycling, and the rise of bio-materials in creative practice. PLAY asks us to look away from conventional ideas about what constitutes art, and what it should or could be made of. While the act of play and experimentation with materials evokes a sense of lighthearted joy, the artworks that emerge from this process can also confront darker and more somber themes, reflecting a complex interplay between creativity and the human experience. The exhibiting artists are reimagining matter, looking at it through a variety of lenses which include sustainable planet-friendly practice, memory, meaning, and emotion. PLAY is an invitation to explore without constraints, to play.
