“Borrowing imagery from its literal reference material, Play:Ground at first appears as a fun serve of light-hearted dopamine fuel. However, to reduce Kire and Jemmott’s dream-like environment to a nostalgic longing for the play-scapes of childhood detaches their work from it’s critically informed framework. Here, both play and collaboration are employed as a methodology for the reclamation of abstract minimalism, and the physical gallery space, from its severe formalist boundaries.”
— Jessica McNicol, excerpt from ‘Play:Ground’ exhibition essay
