Process, Practice, Play

About

Although our practices are very different, we all are art-researchers. We all play with ideas and we all follow a process unique to ourselves in taking that idea all the way through to its final form. Thus, within this show we will celebrate two crucial moments, that actually constitute our practice: what we produce and the way we produce, extending to writing as much as to artwork. To put it brutally, each artist will bring two works, one that can be considered finished and another unfinished, a work alongside that gives an insight into the playful, experimental and investigative nature of the process. We will show that which is normally hidden: the ideas that are embryonic, that are discarded, that may never make it to being a finished work, but are at the heart of our research. Process, Practice, Play will demonstrate thinking in action and consider play in its many manifestations as a valid strategy within research, a tool of the creative process. Emphasising the interactive, participatory, and process-oriented nature of our practices, our exhibition will encourage visitors to become players themselves, and as they enter into the investigation of our ideas, to be given space to communicate theirs.
