PLAYING UP Glasgow Launch: Live Art for Kids and Adults

Make clothes out of food, lie on top of cars, dance with animals, remote control your parents! 

PLAYING UP is an artwork by Sibylle Peters, exploring the potential of Live Art to bridge generations. Drawing on key Live Art themes and seminal works, PLAYING UP takes the form of a game played by adults and kids together.
