Reception

Curated by Christopher Stepler and Adam Kology, Play at Work brings together a selection of actively working Montserrat College of Art alumni from different disciplines and vocations. Highlighting the commonality of "playfulness" in these artists' bodies of work, Play at Work explores the rebellious escapism of artmaking in the work-a-day lives of post college artists. As their professional and artistic careers become more serious, the element of play is a chief motivator to continue their artistic practice beyond their shared alma mater. Loosely encapsulating their strides since graduation, this exhibition demonstrates the intersection of work and play that has made Montserrat a wellspring for artists in New England. Adam Kology and Chris Stepler are both recent Montserrat Alumni. This is their first curatorial project together.
