Playtime explores the infantile, the juvenile. Many of our ideas about art stem from the notion of innocent childish creativity—the Picasso thing. However, Playtime is often more overtly rude, anarchic, occasionally scatological. It encompasses Jenny Watson’s sweet, childish paintings; art-school Associate Professor Peter Robinson’s scribbly caricatures lamenting university life and his suggestive poo sculpture Das Es; Dušan Makavejev’s film of a rebirthing; dummy-spitting neo-dada artist Justene Williams channeling her inner hillbilly; ‘lurker’ artist Steve Carr’s videos of himself in a bedroom pillowfight with little girls and trashing a panel van with little boys; and Brits Jake and Dinos Chapman’s amateurish reconstructions of art tragedies using rubber-glove puppets. Plus, we introduce emerging artist, Thomas Semple.
