SEQUENCEBREAK// Experimental Arcade opening

Visual Studies Workshop
Free/$10 suggested donation
SEQUENCEBREAK// is a dynamic, multimedia exhibition featuring works by artists who challenge mainstream commercial video game culture through genre-expanding experimental play, radical aesthetics, and the use of DIY, counter-capitalist methodologies. The exhibition will offer an in-person opportunity that is unique to the contemporary experience of playing digital games, while opening a broader dialogue with a virtual audience through streaming artist talks, workshops, and gallery tours.
Please note, due to renovation delays, VSW will open the SEQUENCEBREAK// exhibition on March 20 (previously set for March 6). The March 8 artist panel with Heart Street will continue as planned, but as an online-only event.
The artists featured in SEQUENCEBREAK// are Stephen Gillmurphy (thecatamites), Nathalie Lawhead, Philip Mallory Jones, Cassie McQuater, and Heart Street (Yuxin Gao, Lillyan Ling, Gus Boehling, and John Bruneau). This exhibition is curated by Nilson Carroll, VSW Assistant Curator.
SEQUENCEBREAK// is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the New York State Legislature, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the William & Sheila Konar Foundation.
