"Super Button Mashers" - A Gamer Tribute @ OhNo!DOOM (Feb 11)
EVENT-PRESS: "Super Button Mashers: A Gamer Tribute @ OhNo!ARCADE" is a group exhibition where artists pick a video game (be it arcade or family console) from their past or present and reinterpret in their individual vision. "Super Button Mashers" addresses the history of gaming culture and its effect on today's generation. Virtually and physically, the "Arcade" represents the town meeting ground and social arena, comparable to that of the circus, festival and neighborhood fair of their day.
The show launches February 11th @ OhNo!Doom and exhibits thru February 25th. Preview images here feature works by:
- David Palumbo - "The Graveyard" (Oil on board)
- Isaac Bidwell - "Donkey Kong" (Ink w/ washes)
- Yosiell Lorenzo - "Princess Toadstool" (mixed media / shown below)
