Sculptures, branches, rocks, and sand accumulate in the space and extend the photographs of an artist's studio, and the gallery becomes a studio where Leisure puts the ideas of English sculptor Barbara Hepworth (1903-75) and her son the architect Simon Nicholson (1934-90) into practice. In a society that could not easily reconcile maternity and art, Hepworth was forced to reinvent her workplace and methods to make space for children and their interventions. Drawing on this idea of creative play and thought, Leisure presents creativity as an exploratory and collaborative process that children are invited to participate in. Turning the gallery into creative space proposes an experience that is less contemplative and which incites us to play an active role in the artwork.

This exhibition is part of the Inventing Risk programming, which invites us to reconsider the way we make art and the way we think the image.
