‘Play’ presents a selection of key works by Melbourne-based artist Nick Selenitsch that can be both looked at and interacted with. Selenitsch’s practice uses familiar imagery and signs associated with games and sport, and transforms the markings, colours and participation in these activities into sculptural works using everyday objects and materials.
Installed across the ground floor of SAM, ‘Play’ presents newly commissioned work alongside specially re-created past works including Wallpiece (2008), and Aircraft (2007). You’re invited to get active and limbo under the pole, throw the squash ball into the wall, fly the paper plane and enjoy this engaging and hands-on exhibition.
