The volume examines how an understanding of play can shed new light on processes that recur in the work of Philip Guston and Eduardo Paolozzi. Both artistsâ distinctive engagement with popular culture is seen as connected to the play materials available in the landscapes of their individual childhoods. Animating or toying with material to produce the unforeseen outcome is explored as the central force at work in the artistsâ processes. By engaging with a range of play theories, the book shows how the artistsâ studio methods can be understood in terms of game strategies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents; Chapter 1: Introduction: Ageing Play; \u003cb\u003eChapter 2: Kits and Building Blocks; \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 3: Creative Battles; \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 4: Eduardo Paolozzi’s Playgrounds: Contradictions in Art and Play; \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 5: Shuffle\/Spin\/Stack: Emergent Narrative; \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 6: Absurd Processes; \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eConcluding Remarks\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49407211995479,"sku":"9781138054257","price":128.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/play-and-the-artistas-creative-process-9781138054257","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
