Play, the inaugural volume of the Short Play publication, brings together a selection of 14 video works from artists who employ elements of play within their practice. Dancing, singing, frolicking, flying, teleporting and time-travelling, these works are bound by a playful vivacity that acts as a vehicle for sly subversion. Including six essays expanding on the concepts in the work, this diverse and challenging volume runs the gamut of play’s myriad possibilities, in terms of both its role in contemporary art and its significance to everyday life. The result is often a double-edged sword of profundity and fun; a tongue-in-cheek delinquency projecting something deeper while eschewing any po-faced sentimentality of the past.



“Ultimately, Alexander’s work is an unapologetic meditation on beauty. Historically, critics have brutalized work that has been about beauty’s frivolities. The work of Alexander and his tribe makes a radical and triumphant attempt at “embodying” rather than depicting beauty, turning the concept of beauty and light into medium rather than Dionysian decadence. – Tim Nye”
