Description:

Curated by: Thomas Rousse

Featuring Artwork by: Greg Wohlwend, Rob Lach, Patrick Segura, Brian Patrick Franklin, & Christopher Wille

"Chicago Games invites visitors to reconsider the power and vibrancy of video games as a medium for artistic expression through the work of local creators. The city of Chicago, the worldwide hub of arcade manufacturing and distribution in the second half of the 20th century, now hosts an exciting new wave of independent game designers poised to retake gaming's crown. This exhibition showcases the work of Greg Wohlwend, Rob Lach, Patrick Segura, Brian Patrick Franklin, and Christopher Wille. Their contributions, curated by Thomas Rousse of GAMESat.NU, speak to the protean nature of games as art, spanning themes from acceptance to bodily disorientation and technologies from pixel-art to virtual reality. Chicago Games marks the first exhibit of digital interactive work at Dittmar Memorial Gallery."

Exhibiton Dates: October 30th - December 2nd
