People tend to forget that play is serious. David Hockney
Dolby Chadwick Gallery is pleased to announce the upcoming group show, The Art of Play. In this exhibition, artists examine in diverse ways the concept of play in their subject matter and process. The work in this show ranges from smoke drawings of circus performers by Rob Tarbell to photographs of constructed scenes built from train scale models by Vanessa Marsh. Oil paintings of iconic objects of play will appear such as Playskool figures (Chris Cosnowski), vintage wind up bath toys (Ada Sadler), cat’s eye marbles (Dan Jackson), paper airplanes (Kim Frohsin) and a cameo by Ken and Barbie (Holly Farrell). This exhibition brings accomplished artists together to interpret play in many forms. The work in this show will collectively describe what is at the heart of play and hopes to re-capture the imagination of its’ audience.
The masters in the art of living make little distinction between their work
and their play, their labor and their leisure, their minds and their bodies,
their information, their recreation, their love and their religion. They
hardly know which is which, they simply pursue their vision of excellence at
whatever they do, leaving others to decide whether they are working or
playing. -James Albert Michener
The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by
the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with
the objects it loves. -Carl Jung
This has been a challenging year for artists and the institutions and business that support them. Our hope is to add some levity to the end of 2009. We feel a great deal of gratitude to have survived thus far and look forward to celebrating the end of the year with this exhibition focused on play.
