See the world of art in a different light with Plastique Kinetic Worms's latest exhibition Whose Playground Is This? on from 13th July to 28th      July 2007. An exhibition that highlights the redefinition of the curator's role behind the process of putting on A SHOW today, right from the beginning even before an artist creates the work, (Whose Playground Is This?) looks at the very foundation of art exhibitions AND the artist-curator relationship. 



Whose Playground is This? toys around with current definitions of artist and curator, and the process of how we view and interpret art. The curator, an important influence on an artist's exhibition, used to mean just cataloguing, interpreting and documenting artefacts and collections of institution. Today's world of art, however, has started to blur the line between artist, curator, collector and museum director, leading to the question of just whose playground does art belong to?

  

 "We wanted to explore all these questions about ownership of exhibition work. Really, where does one work stop and another start? Can an artist's success solely come out of his or her own work and ability, how much of an influence belongs to the curator who frames their work and in some cases entire art practices? And don't forget even patrons or collectors – how much credit (of even an artist's fame) should go to them?" says David Chew, curator for Whose Playground is This.

  

 Whose Playground is This? Features the work of artists Ana Prvacki, Jeremy Sharma and Tang Ling Nah.

  

 Prvacki created concurrently with a curator a video work titled The Wild Goose-step (and then she said); Jeremy Sharma turns the tables on curator by making them the subject of an artwork, and then shoots them (both metaphorically and literally); and Tang Ling Nah plays with different levels of meanings by putting on the curator hat and creates an artwork that sees her curating an exhibition within an exhibition.
