L21’s latest group show “Brick Games” presents a challenge of sorts. Through shifting walls of faux bricks that reveal a diverse range of artwork, the exhibition’s curator Francesco Giaveri compares the display to stepping into a video game. Aesthetically similar to the iconic Tetris series, “brick structures descend from the ceiling or emerge from the floor for no apparent reason,” said Giaveri.
The exhibition features the work of 16 artists that are presented in a discontinuous manner. By showcasing each artwork as “a system of partial construction” or “unfinished unions”, the show, like the endlessly mind-numbing video games of yesteryear, offers “several possible routes, comings and goings, in search of increasing the serotonin levels of those who visit this group exhibition,” Giaveri added.
From Jordi Ribes’s melting Snoopy sculpture to Gao Hang’s glitchy backside of Tomb Raider — ”Brick Games” is a journey of mind-numbing proportions. The exhibition is currently on view until May 25. See the full list of exhibiting artists below.
Also on view, William Monk presents “The Ferryman” at Pace and GRIMM.
