International artists display work at Slusser

The traveling art exhibition "Play Mode" will be at the Jean Paul Slusser Gallery of the School of Art and Design through Jan. 28.

Seven international artists from such places as Vancouver and Mexico City are displaying their work in the gallery. The work itself is a multimedia mix, ranging from video and photos to sculpture and painting.

"Play Mode" was organized and curated by Anne Walsh of the Art Gallery at the University of California at Irvine. The exhibition's purpose is to explore "the idea that everyday life is as much 'performed' as it is lived spontaneously."

Many of the works are interactive, such as a sculpture that moves once set in motion by participants.
