Child’s Play

The exhibition’s title reflects the spirit in which these artists set forth their practice, using unconventional materials, a playful aesthetic, and an inherent sense of humor to explore complex conceptual premises and social issues. Hardly mere “child’s play,” their efforts embrace divergent approaches to crafting work with rigor, intricacy, and a refined sensibility.
