Excerpt / Curated by Brian Droitcour, this group show of twenty-six artists examines the reach of fantasy role-playing games in everyday life, carefully balancing geeky fandom with a critical stance. The negotiation of identity in RPGs is one of the central themes of the show, and, as Droitcour explains in the catalogue, this personal exploration within a structured system often extends to other platforms––such as social media sites. Hence, in a nod to Joseph Beuys’s well-known maxim, Droitcour declares: “Everyone is a gamer.”
