With Game Barker revisits his original 'Targets' from 1967. Cast in aluminium these works address the question if they are art or games. Barker asks his viewers to consider whether they respond to them as they would to other sculptures or to functional objects. Barker has since 1966 explored the minimisation between the 'original' and the 'copy'. Often his works are only distinguished from the original because of their shiny finish and weight.
Clive Barker's works have been the subject of one-man shows in the United Kingdom and abroad, and are included in the following museums: Berardo Collection, Sintra Museum of Modern Art, Lisbon
British Museum, London
National Portrait Gallery, London
StKunsthalle, Mannheim
Tate, London
The Hirshhorn Museum & Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution, Washington D.C.
National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne.
