'Idle Hands are the Devils Plaything' is an exhibition presenting film, performance, drawing, sculpture, installation and sound works from 17 practicing visual artists- in all their mischief.
About
The proverb “idle hands are the devils plaything” posits that someone who is unoccupied and bored will find mischief, or that someone who has nothing to do will partake in something that will get them into trouble. The practices in this exhibition seek out this mischief, revelling in their idle time at home, at work, and in play.
