Exhibition with Iaspis Studio Grant Holder Alicja Rogalska at Västerås Konstmuseum

 

When we play, we test our limits and develop our understanding of others and our environment. The exhibition Free Play tells a Swedish history of play with an underlying socio-changing agenda. The exhibition displays contemporary art in relation to a historical archive, including material from The Model. A Model for a Qualitative Society (1968) and The Balloon at Råby (1969). Children’s play today is viewed in an international context, in works by Johanna Billing, Gabo Camnitzer, Adelita Husni-Bey, Mats Eriksson Dunér, Priscila Fernandes, Jacob Kirkegaard and Alicja Rogalska. The exhibition is the culmination of The Balloon – Play for Real, a two-year social art project in Råby, Västerås.

In collaboration with Västmanlands läns museum and Konstfrämjandet Västmanland. Curator: Katrin Ingelstedt.
