Concept

Game is defined as adopting goals, rules, challenges and interactions but as the philosopher, Ludwig Wittgenstein claims, games can be a misconstrued meaning of language and the mind.

Because we misunderstand language we use indirect communication, thought experiments and mind games to get a sense of one-upmanship to empower or demoralize. What extremes can we go to for feeling recognition, wanting, acceptance and achievement?

Featured artists explore the work ethic of game playing considering tactics, strategy and philosophical investigations as well as aesthetic work which deals with layout, intrigue and an appeal to take part. The exhibition includes, video, film, photography, installation, interventions, painting and drawing.

The ability to choose images containing within themselves the seed of their own destruction must not be influenced by the presence of manipulative hands in a room unpopulated by objects. We could tolerate tables and dust and maybe a few grammatological grimaces, but not the locked drawers and wooden puppets incapable of uttering the form of thought reliant on self-postponement and interior monologuesfolding and refolding the same infinite page.
