Playthings at Metro Gallery
POSTED May 8, 3:12 PM

Metro Gallery -- 1700 North Charles Street, Baltimore, MD 21201


BALTIMORE- "Playthings", a group exhibit of art influenced by the act of play, will be shown at the Metro Gallery during the month of May. The exhibition will include works by some of the most exciting young local artists: Dina Kelberman, Milana Braslavsky, Noel Freibert, Alex Worthington, Ryan Cecil Smith, Natalie Jenison, Nik Pence, Michael Gerkovich, Meghan Clay, and Giuliana Pinto. Showcasing a variety of media, the works included in "Playthings" iterate the importance of play within current art, and the centrality of toys within this discussion.

"Playthings" embraces acts of play: through the thematic and visual influence of playthings, through the welcoming of physical interaction. The works included in this exhibition embody the both the spirit and the function of toys. They imitate mundane necessities of life or they provide relief through alternative fantasy, and often these two binaries collide. Through the language of toys, "Playthings" presents a wonderland of invention, whimsy, and playfulness.

An opening reception will be held at the Metro Gallery on Thursday, May 8th from 7 to 11PM.
