Den fria leken : modellen, Ballongen och konsten som aktion

The exhibition 'The free play' explores human play in relation to the concept of freedom. In the game we test our limitations, here we develop our social skills and understanding of the outside world. At the same time, the fantasy world of play is beyond the norms and routines of reality, rather it acts as an unspoken agreement between participants, a self-regulating system that moves unhindered between dream and reality. The game is thus a unique free zone that is in the borderland between being an educational instrument for adaptation and a radical model of liberation. It is therefore no wonder that educators, sociologists, artists, but also the business community have been inspired by the ability of the game to bring out man's inherent creativity, and at the same time act as a mirror towards the contemporary.
