Melodrama and Other Games. 2013
Mixed-Media, gedruckte Plakate, verschiedene Requisiten
Pedro Reyes examines the cognitive contradictions of modern life and proposes surprising solutions that are at the same time metaphorical and functional. This collection of games includes new games as well as variations on existing ones. For every game, there is a poster – a visual poem that also works as a score/instruction/recipe for how to play. The aim of these posters is to remind us of certain games, and they can then be dispersed to others. They are given free of charge; the only price is to play the game. This is a warm-up phase in the recovery of the street and courtyard as a realm for humans rather than machines. 7 of the 10 posters presented were originally commissioned by the Liverpool Biennial and FACT, UK.
Entstanden im Auftrag der Sharjah Art Foundation.
