ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS
OG Education Exhibition
27 July - 30 July 2022
October Gallery is delighted to announce its annual Education Exhibition, Rock, Paper, Scissors. Co-curated with the OG Youth Collective, this show will feature a range of artworks which share an exploration of play. The exhibition will open on Wednesday 27th July 12.30 pm with an evening event at 6 pm with speeches by OG Youth Collective members taking place at 6:45 pm.
The theme of the presentation connects to activity games that are both inclusive and accessible. Rock Paper Scissors, encapsulates this approach, as it can be played anywhere, anytime. Using this well-known game as a starting point, contributing artists and groups expanded the concept to explore various materials. The exhibition will display the work of October Gallery Education over the past year, including new works from the OG Youth Collective, collaborative works by schools and community groups led by artist-educators, and artworks by the artist-educators themselves.
October Gallery Education connects community groups to a plurality of ideas and approaches to making art. The artworks in this year's Education Exhibition reflect the rich diversity of materials used by the international contemporary artists on show at October Gallery, such as cascading paper sculptures, striking figurative paintings and applied signs and glyphs to ceramic and paper forms. Rock, Paper, Scissors, highlights the unlimited scope of human artistic responses to the world around us when creative play is set in motion.
Rock, Paper, Scissors culminates with a special Family Art Day in the Gallery on Saturday 30th July 2022 from 10 am until 3 pm, which will give children and adults of ALL AGES the chance to do some hands-on art making with artist-educators, and OG Youth collective as well as explore the gallery, courtyard and add their own artwork contributions to various collaborative installations.
