DAVID BLANDY - ODYSSEYS - FATED DUAL - GAMING TOURNAMENT
Event Info
Description
To complement David Blandy’s exhibition, Odysseys, Lighthouse have invited The Fight Lab to bring one of their now cult gaming tournaments to Phoenix. At this epic full day game tournament, game-play takes place in the gallery on the very arcade machines that David Blandy's artwork is installed on.
The Fight Lab is a group that promote the artistic and social nature of video games with a focus on competitive games culture. Many of the artworks in Odysseys take the form of operational arcade games. Deeply inspired by the subcultures around gaming, Blandy has created several artworks that act as homages, deconstructions or comments on classic computer games.
The Fight Lab’s collaboration with Blandy at Phoenix Brighton will be a unique opportunity to see David Blandy’s artwork in a completely new light, meet one of Brighton’s most dynamic gaming communities, and play!
