The Games We Play

Exit Art opens the season with three exhibitions and several public programs that explore various media that range from installation, poetry, and collage to video, painting, and performance art. Beyond City Lights: Neonart, which contemplates the medium of neon light, and ¡Viva La Música!, a visual exploration of Latin history, aesthetics, and culture via over 400 album covers, we are especially interested in the four-person group show titled Interplay. Responding to the selected artists' consistent use of various materials, Interplay provides an exciting look at how these emerging artists use a variety of media to, in the words of curators Papo Colo and Jeanette Ingberman, "form comprehensive artistic statement[s]." And speaking of media, featured artist William Villalongo's recent mixed media sculptures will definitely provide an ideal example of the show's premise.

Interplay will be on view until November 25. The next upcoming public program, Serious Games, is scheduled for Saturday, November 18.
