Folded in at Laboral centre for art and creative industries







First presentation of the Folded-in in the show

HOMO
LUDENS LUDENS

Locating play in contemporary culture and society

from 18 April to 22 September 2008
@ LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial, Gijón/Spain
http://www.laboralcentrodearte.org/

HOMO LUDENS LUDENS is an exhibition that looks into the expressions
of play in the life and culture of our digital times and examines the
formations of the contemporary magic circles. Focusing on play, rather
than games, the exhibition sets a setting that embraces different forms
of works who address, describe or criticize today's play. Play is being
reversed and reformed; being able to embody social and political acts
and issues, it becomes a tool for critique and social change; connecting
the virtual and the real, it brings new dimensions for social
encounters; approaching other disciplines, it gives birth to new art and
play forms; But at the same time, play is being exploited becoming a
terrain for labour where the player is asked to be a creator or else a
worker. What are the opportunities and what are the risks that need to
be balanced in such a context?

The exhibition is an examination and speculation about Homo Ludens
Ludens -the contemporary playful man- and the new playgrounds
(s)he is invited to join and to respond to.
