A Turner Prize winner, the first female head of Painting in the UK (at Winchester School of Art) and a revered Royal Academician -- all feature in the latest exhibition ¡®Work & Play¡¯ at The Winchester Gallery, at Winchester School of Art.?

Four works by Gillian Wearing, Roderick Buchanan, Gillian Ayres and Lisa Milroy, selected by Winchester School of Art¡¯s MA Contemporary Curating students under the guidance of curator Julia Vogl, will be?on loan from the prestigious collection at Ìì·¢ÓéÀÖÆåÅÆ_Ìì·¢ÓéÀÖAPP-¹ÙÍø|ÏÂÔØ City Art Gallery. Twenty-six?additional artworks will be on view alongside them, selected from a regional open call. Community artists join with WSA¡¯s BA and MA students, internationally recognised faculty, and alumni, showcasing a myriad of multi-media, interdisciplinary? artworks on the theme of work and play.?

WSA Lecturer and Printmaking Fellow Julia Vogl, who led the co-curating experience, notes that the exhibition features ¡®four generations of artists with diverse nationalities, socio-economic backgrounds, and senses of humour¡¯. Championing different points of view, ¡®Work & Play¡¯ embraces the absurd, the funny, the challenging and the political. Each artwork will make you think again about work, play, and the relationship between them.?

'Work & Play¡¯ will be at The Winchester Gallery from 28 March through 24 May, with a public opening from 5-7pm on 27 March. Visitors can look forward to a wide range of artworks that question the playfulness of work and the purpose of creativity.?
