An exhibition where play is as important as the ideas it may stimulate.

At an art gallery we usually have to follow a series of rules. Don't touch the work, don't run, don't shout, don't play. Don't, in short, have fun. We thought it would be good to try something else ' this exhibition shows contemporary artists that treat the gallery like a fairground rather than a church.

The exhibition features Hassan Hajjaj's Le Salon, a Moroccan influenced cafe, American artist Mungo Thomson's production of a large inflatable as an artwork. Angela Bulloch's light installations that respond to the audience chanting football songs and Erwin Wurm's prints giving instructions on how to turn yourself into a sculpture for one minute.

So welcome to Play Ground, where we can touch the art (at least most of it), where we can shout and sing and where you should have fun. In this exhibition the play is as important as the ideas it may stimulate.
