Games & Theory
Explore Games & Theory at the South London gallery this summer
Games & Theory at the South London Gallery brings together the work of international contemporary artists who share interests in play, sports and gaming.
With works shown in, on and around Nils Norman's play architecture, viewers are encouraged to become active participants in the exhibition and climb, crawl and experience the gallery in new ways. Taking its cue from Situationist ideologies, Games & Theory explores the radical potential of play as a form of resistance and expression of freedom.
Through references to Batman, skateboarding and New Babylon, the Modernist architectural plan of which was intended as a playground for living in, Jakob Kolding's posters encourage city-dwellers to see their environment as a playground.
The exhibition runs from Friday July 11th to Sunday September 7th, the gallery is open from Tuesday to Sunday, 12pm to 6pm.
