The idea to study the concepts of Joy and of Play in contemporary visual art through the work of artists Lorraine Burrell, Peter Liversidge and Antonio Riello has been the starting point for this show. Actually, our research has started from one question. What is the nature of the relation between Joy and Play? In English language, to play is an ambiguous word. Although some of the possible meanings are for using toys, acting on the stage, playing games and, more generally, not taking things too seriously - it also connects to a sense of "following rules."
