People Players

September 29 – November 5, 2017

By game, as grownups, we mean looking for the possibility of alternative realities. We play because our intentions are dismissed by reality, and we play because this is something we refuse to accept. A game bolsters new skills and offers new perspectives, therefore—just as any form of learning—it does transform reality, in the end. The exhibition People Players revolves around the joy a game conveys, and playing, the soberness of discovery. A player is liberated and contemplative; they are inside and outside at once, they play and they see themselves playing.
