At Play is an invitation to the spectator to play. It re-creates a sense of what it is like to be a child at play. As a participatory exhibition, it encourages viewers to gaze, remember, touch, explore, trust, think, laugh, peer, concentrate, join in, bend down, take a chance… and play. At Play also supports artists in making participatory, engaging and interactive work in a variety of art forms: the way that play can be free and spontaneous or it can be bound by rules and conventions – as with board games and sport. The exhibition explores ideas about rules or the lack of them, and the spirit of the Olympics in the year that the summer Olympics come to Britain.At Play 2012 is a project in partnership with the New Ashgate Gallery, Surrey, South Hill Park, Berkshire, and OVADA, Oxfordshire, exploring concepts of play and participation. It is a collaboration, produced and curated by Dr Outi Remes and Cally Trench.At Play is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.Catalogue: www.lulu.com/shop/outi-remes-and-cally-trench/at-play-2012/paperback/product-20071293.html
