Cally Trench: forthcoming projects

AT PLAY

Cally Trench is co-curating two further exhibitions based around ideas of play with Outi Remes, the Head of Visual Arts, at South Hill Park, Bracknell, Berkshire. At Play 3 will take place at South Hill Park from 17th April to 19th June 2011, and At Play 4 will take place in April–June 2012. See At Play on this website for more information.

Children use play to make sense of the world; adults mainly use play to escape from it. Both have pleasure ... but play can also have an obsessive, addictive, aggressive or divisive side. At Play 3 will explore ideas about making sense of the world and escaping from it, and both the pleasurable and the more sinister aspects of play.

Play can be free and spontaneous, or it can be bound by rules and conventions – as with board games and sport . At Play 4 will explore ideas about rules, or the lack of them, in play, and the spirit of the Olympics.
