Whose Playground is this?

Whose playground is this?
An exhibition showcasing works by
Ana Prvacki, Jeremy Sharma and Tang Ling Nah

PKW’s 9th Annual Group Show
Curated by David Chew

Exhibition runs from 12th July till 28th July 2007


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?

Featuring the work of artists Ana Prvacki, Jeremy Sharma and Tang Ling
Nah, PRVACKI created a video work concurrently with a curator titled
The Wild Goose-step (and then she said); SHARMA turns the
tables on curator by making them the subject of an artwork, and then
shoots them (both metaphorically and literally); and TANG
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.Come play with us.¬¬
