> STATEMENT
ping pong gallery was founded in 2005 and conceived of as an alternative
project space wherein an action-oriented activity (ping pong), seemingly
unrelated to the arts, would give shape to an exhibition space and set
in motion both a literal and figurative back and forth dialogue between
artists and individuals. if there is one significant theme underscoring
the exhibition and playspace, it is art as a form of unremitting conversation:
a continual turning over of ideas, a communication where energy is transmitted
in one direction, ping, and acknowledgment is returned in another, pong,
and back again.
our objective is to show innovative, multidimensional work by emerging
artists of all media and simultaneously provide a forum to help foster
ideas and acts of free play. dedicated to upholding a viable conduit for
free creativity, free discourse, and free play, ping pong gallery makes
its commitment to bringing together artists and friends to experience an
actively engaged environment, in an audience-participation, game-like,
art-filled space. ping pong gallery presents itself as a sculptural playground,
one that will ultimately come to be rooted in the collective instinct,
as well as in the works, objects, and performances themselves.
we invite you to play ping pong, and urge you to create.
