Limitless Play – An Exhibition in Phenomena

A study of communality through playfulness and limitlessness.


Limitless Play is an exhibition of phenomenic, interactive art. The exhibition manifests in different forms and media, comprising various workshops, projects and ideas that were launched during the community art project A Study of Playfulness and Limitlessness. This study was part of a larger community art process Colours in February organised by the Community of the Living Fire (Elävän Tulen yhteisö) in the region of Pispala, Tampere. The exhibition of Limitless Play is held at the Centre of Contemporary Art Pispala, Hirvitalo through 26th May to 17th June 2012. 

Limitless Play is about exploring new forms of communal interaction by means of playfulness and creative interaction, by inviting the audience to participate in various events and phenomena. The goal of the exhibition is to create phenomena and artwork that could evolve both during and after the exhibition. During the exhibition, visitors can take part in Waterballoon Wars, stonetrading and performative conversations, among other events. In addition, they can vote for the content and continuation of the artwork, enagage in Guided Reality Tours, Hometown Hiking, Conversations in Gibberish and many other phenomena.

You can find the programme and further details below.

Limitless Play is organised by the Community art group of The Living Room.
