9 pedestals with game boards on them are distributed in the space.

At first glance they are recognizable games, but it quickly becomes clear that they are abstract games without rules.

The spectator is invited to play and gradually devise / determine the rules. Especially due to the accessible imagination of a child, the parents like to play the game. But adults are also stimulated to compete against each other at the game table.

While rules of the game are being defined, playing changes into play.


PLAY has also been shown at, among others, CBK Drenthe, KunstRAI, CoBrA museum
