the playful turn
A multimedia exhibition exploring artistic perspectives on play and playfulness.
Full of hands-on, participative works: absurdist games, mischievous interventions, kitsch assemblages, comic expositions and playful videos it invites visitors to immerse themselves in the exhilarating spirit of play that uplifts our lives beyond mud-bound existence.
Mingling anarchic and frequently absurd experiences with playful treatment of serious subjects, the exhibition asks visitors to consider the multifarious ways in which play and playfulness enriches our lives and gives it value.
