“Art is too serious to be taken seriously” Ad Reinhardt
In this show a specific aspect of the social world – the playing of games – is given inventive yet precarious form, with the presentation of abandoned articles: guttering, a bed frame, a microwave, milk cartons, a miscellany of card and tape. Crazy Golf re-houses the detritus, re-assigning its use value and function. It has to do with the ephemeral, of course, and contemporary ecological concerns, but refers also to resourcefulness, impermanence and spontaneity. The mini-golf course is offered as a ‘working’ sculpture: putters and balls are provided so that the visitor can either play with the artwork or stand aside and contemplate it.
