At Play in the Bracknell Gallery and Tall Hall of South Hill Park explores ideas about play: making magic and being transformed, passing the time, messing about and making a mess, being yourself and pretending to be someone else, having secrets, making dens, belonging to gangs, creating rules and rituals, taking dares and chances, making and exploring small worlds. The exhibition re-creates in both adults and children a sense of what it is like to be a child at play. It encourages the viewer to gaze, to remember, to touch, to explore, to trust, to think, to laugh, to peer, to concentrate, to join in, to bend down, to take a chance … and to play. At Play 1 features work by Marco Cali, Marcin Gajewski, Rosie Gibson, Judy Goldhill & Sophie Loss, Susan Eyre, Cathy Hart & Esther Jervis, Aaron Head, Pernille Holm-Mercer, Ingrid Jensen, Philip Lee, Siobhan McAuley, Samantha Mogelonsky, Fedor Pavlov-Andreevich, Kay Sentance, Liz Whiteman Smith, John Tenniel and Cally Trench. At Play 2 returns on 17 April – 20 June 2010 for a mansion-wide exhibition. At Play 1 and 2 are curated by Outi Remes and Cally Trench. The Bracknell Gallery opening hours: Wednesday 7.00pm – 9.30pm, Thursday to Saturday 1.00pm – 9.30pm, Sunday 1pm-5pm. View the exhibition at YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPVdd8paaFg
