Exhibiting artist Kate Lowe says: In a world that is saturated with technology, purposefulness, stress and responsibilities, people seldom make time for play.
Playing through art has allowed us to make, unmake and remake our world. Both play and art are generative and we hope that you will experience some of the power of PLEI as you encounter the work.
The artists practices are diverse; they make work across many media and channels including video, figurative painting, sound, collage, mixed media, abstract
expression, photography, drawing, fabric, sculpture and installation.
Reconnecting to their instinct to experiment, fool around, make mistakes, make a mess, become confused, feel awkward, be silly, be non-purposeful (on purpose), be self-directed and indulge in pretending has allowed all 9 artists to explore the role of play through art.
‘Plei’ opens with a private view on 24th Juanuary 6.30 - 8.30 pm at Re:Centre.
Following the private view the exhibition is open to the pubic (admission free) 11 am - 5 pm daily until 5th February.
