‘Playground’

Curatorial Statement;

Playground draws upon the thought of Isamu Noguchi, who imagined play spaces as open fields for discovery rather than prescriptive environments. In place of instructing the body to “swing here, climb there”, the playground becomes, as critic Thomas Hess describes, a site for “endless exploration”. In this sense, play is shaped by curiosity, movement and intuition. Bringing together artists across an array of disciplines, Playground unfolds as a spatial environment. Inspired by Noguchi’s playscapes, the exhibition resists fixed hierarchies of display, where instead, works are encountered at multiple levels in multiple ways, inviting movement and exploration in the space.
