Brooke Benington and Canary Wharf are pleased to present State of Play: an exhibition of contemporary sculpture that reconnects us with a foundational characteristic of humanity and the starting place for all artists. To play for pleasure, for curiosity, for the community, for the pure delight in doing. From theatre to sports and primary schools to art schools, play is the overlooked epicentre of the human experience. It’s how we learn and how we evolve, adapt, and create. The eleven artists exhibited represent different facets of the idea of play, including word-play, playing music, and rediscovering childhood play, and through these various aspects, we are invited to reflect on our own lived experiences.
Featuring work by Cornelia Baltes, Jemma Egan, Charlie Godet Thomas, Heywood & Condie, Mark Hosking, Gary Hume, Laurence Owen, Jesse Pollock, Amba Sayal-Bennett, Almuth Tebbenhoff & Jack West
