Press Play

This March RedLine and Denver Arts & Venues are partnering to produce Press Play, curated by Cortney Lane Stell and Ruth Bruno. This exhibition joins RedLine’s 2015 series, Play it Forward, which seeks to engage all ages and demographics in play and highlight the importance of play in building healthy communities. The exhibition, Press Play, features artwork in a variety of media from Giclée prints, projections, and video games, to large-scale installations. This exhibition looks at how the digital age relates to and effects creative output, as well as how we view the world.

Curators Stell and Bruno describe:

"Rules of games, like those found in video games, imply ethical models or boundaries to be kept within in daily societal interactions and experiences.  These parameters often structure our actions, perspectives, and worldviews. The artists in Press Play use these normative tools as structure, starting points, or forces to push against in their work. While some artworks explore conventional modes of structured play, other works use ruled play systems in order to subvert these conventional models of participation and competition."

The exhibition will take place at the McNichols Civic Center Building (144 West Colfax Avenue) through June 28, 2015. Public hours are Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
