Everything is permissible in the play arena and the child is<br \/>\nfree to experience emotive associations.  Words become part of a<br \/>\nthing.  The thing activates ideas.  In a return to this early stage of<br \/>\ncognition, these projects understand playing as an unstructured<br \/>\nprocess to generate new idea flashes or to feed artistic practice.<br \/>\nSerious and jovial intentions, group structures and individual design<br \/>\nmeet on the playground.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday July 17, artists will literally play with their food, adopt<br \/>\nnew personae through role play and performance and implicate audiences<br \/>\nin group play.

The<br \/>\n\u00e2\u20ac\u02dcLucullan Feast\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 is a lavish buffet of ideas, a profusion of playful<br \/>\noutcomes, a contempt for limitations and an invitation to taste.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Lucullan Feast&#8217; includes work by<br \/>\nRica Borich<br \/>\nBrett Budde<br \/>\nAnn Cleary<br \/>\nTyler Coburn<br \/>\nMichael DeLucia<br \/>\nAlexa Forosty<br \/>\nCraig Hein<br \/>\nHein Koh<br \/>\nShaun Krupa<br \/>\nYui Kugimiya<br \/>\nCary Leibowitz<br \/>\nTed Mineo<br \/>\nJulia Rommel<br \/>\nHanna Sandin<br \/>\nAdam Sipe<\/p>\n<p>Concurrent with the feast, Tova Carlin and Luke Stettner will launch<br \/>\n\u00e2\u20ac\u02dcA Dark Room,\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 a roving photo studio and collaborative force between<br \/>\nthe artists.
