This exhibition, at its extremes, is absurd and political. It is a celebration of individual artworks that contain the duality of work and play.

The exhibition showcases four prestigious works from the Southampton City Art Gallery together with 27 works selected from an open call to artists in Hampshire and the Winchester School of Art community (students, alumni and faculty).

Curated collaboratively by Lecturer Julia Vogl and the MA in Contemporary Curating 24/25 students, in partnership with the Southampton City Art Gallery. Come and get playful, explore and participate.
