The curators are encouraging artists to queer the idea of games and play: board games\, bored games\, war games\, mind games\, drinking games\, parlor games\, gender games\, games theory\, game shows\, word play\, gun play\, foreplay\, BDSM play\, playing the fool\, playing by ear\, playing along\, playing around\, playing for the team\, playback\, playmates\, team sports\, blood sport\, water sports... With this exuberance of possibilities we will build a show of divergent investigations; a game for viewers to trace commonalities and conflicts along the through-line of gaming.   ‘Maturity means to have rediscovered the seriousness one had as a child at play.’ -Friedrich Nietzsche Curated by Persimmon Blackbridge\, SD Holman and Jeff Gibson.
