Come and play inside - Perception Park Gallery

Come and play inside

The artists explore the very concept of artwork and exhibition. In opening breaches and occupying the interstices, they spotlight that which is not evident at first glance, that which influences fluidity of thought and vision. Their objective is the viewer’s perspective, which finds itself short-circuited, modified, suppressed or even augmented.
