About

Simon Fildes — Dundee, UK; Kevin Henderson — Perth, UK; Matthew Mark Roberts — London, UK; Angela Ellsworth — Phoenix, USA; RAEchel Running — Arizona, USA; Kim Walker — Glasgow, UK The worlds of sport and art are inextricably linked by a number of deep rooted commonalities; through the conventions which we unconsciously adhere to when judging them; through the aesthetic appreciation we hold for each discipline; through each fields demand for a public arena to showcase talent; and through the athletes personal somatic experiences. The exhibition The Beautiful Game will seek to explore the relational aesthetics of sport, athletics, art and game play, along with its theory and psychology, mark making and movement, modes of athletic performance, temporal and spatial dissonance. By employing a wide variety of artistic practice The Beautiful Game brings sports into a visual arts context exposing the active aesthetic.
