Canadian Artists Re-Appropriate Videogame Classics for Social Commentary

The Art Gallery of Grande Prairie (AGGP) in Alberta, Canada opens “Video Games? Art and Technology,” a group exhibition demonstrating the medium’s capacity for social commentary. Curator Manar Abo Touk showcases thoughtful re-interpretations of videogame classics by Canadian artists Pippin Barr, Sandee Moore, Cat Bluemke, and Jonathan Carroll. Moore’s (updated) 2001 installation The Mixer (image), for example, highlights the sexism of the Tony Hawk Pro Skater series.
