The exhibition 'LFG' at The Hole in Tribeca showcases the intersection of contemporary art and video gaming. Featuring 13 international artists, the show highlights gaming's profound influence on art as a visual language and cultural phenomenon. Works include animated sculptures, pixelated health kits, and playable installations that reflect themes of identity and collaboration within gaming. The title 'LFG', which stands for both 'Looking For Group' and 'Let's F*cking Go', emphasizes the social dynamics gaming fosters, illustrating how these artists leverage gaming elements not to escape reality, but to challenge and redefine it creatively.
"This show is a glimpse of what that path might look like - artists using the tools, textures and myths of gaming not to escape reality but to reprogram it. It's messy, ambitious and unresolved, like any good game still in beta."
"Whether storming a dungeon to loot rare armor, reviving your squadmate mid-firefight in Call of Duty, dancing on the corpses of your enemies in Fortnite, syncing getaway cars for a casino heist in GTA or just grinding XP in the desert while getting made fun of - we have found our teams."
