The visual arts like many other creative processes use playful generative ideas where play and learning are fluidly integrated. While experiential learning (play) is an inherent part of the practices of a number of the artists in this show, each artist deals with this concept from a unique and individual perspective. The exhibition will also include a text by writer Tim Stott who will respond to the works in the exhibition and situate them within current discourse concerning gaming and play.

Mark Garry is a Dublin based artist, curator and writer (and occasional musician). Mark has exhibited extensively in Ireland and internationally and was one of the artists chosen to represent the Republic of Ireland at the Venice Biennial in 2005. He has organized a number of independent and institutionally supported curatorial projects, and was the visual arts curator with the Dublin Fringe Festival from 2000-2004.

David Beattie graduated in 2006 with an Masters in Visual Art Practices from Dun Laoghaire Institute of Art Design and Technology. Recent exhibitions include Homemade, Dublin, Sculpture at Kells, Kilkenny, and The Important Thing Is That Tomorrow Is Not The Same As Yesterday, Pallas Contemporary Projects, Dublin .

Anita Delaney graduated with a BA in Fine Art in 2006 from Dun Laoghaire Institute of Art Design and Technology and has recently shown work in the Platforma Video Festival in Athens and ISAFF Open Cinema Festival in St Petersburg, Russia.
