Playtime
A new exhibition explores art's more infantile side.
Overview
Did you love playtime as a kid? I did. No restrictions on your imagination, just a designated time to be and to create. We didn’t always create masterpieces, but getting a finger painting up on the fridge wasn’t always the intended result. Forgive me if I go a bit too deep right now, but maybe the loss of playtime as we have grown older has made us lose a bit of our internal creativity.
I give full credit to artists that can make playtime into all-the-time. As without them our world would be incredibly dull. The Institute of Modern Art is hosting an exhibition based on the notion of ‘infantile regression’. This exhibition will feature artwork that is rough, vivid, juvenile and cheeky, as each artist is encouraged to revisit their early infant creativity, unbridled, unrestrained, uninhibited.
Playtime features work from Jenny Watson, Otto Muehl, Peter Robinson, Justene Williams, Steve Carr and Jake and Dinos Chapman. Each artist brings a unique interpretation to the theme and helps make the exhibition truly unique.
