Art Space on the Concourse presents Global Gambits and Playful Revisions, exploring how artists use play and satire to highlight global issues such as global warming, colonisation, and political injustices.

This exhibition delves into the role of play and games in navigating life’s challenges. Artists creatively use play, satire, and repurposed children’s toys to shed light on issues such as global warming, colonisation, and political injustices. Experience racing cars, toy soldiers and circuit-bended electronic toys through the lens of an artist’s playful yet serious call to awareness.

Exhibited artists include Giles Alexander, Zachariah Fenn, Josh Harle, Professor Ian Howard, Freya Jobbins, Dapeng Liu, Amanda Marburg, Joan Ross, Ariel Ruby and Toydeath.

A Willoughby City Council curated exhibition presented in partnership with the Sydney Comedy Festival and Checkmate Chatswood. Co-curated by Cassandra Hard Lawrie and Miguel Olmo.

Opening Event: Thursday 9 May, 6 – 8pm.
