Opening: Toys Redux — On Play and Critique
Opening
May 29, 2015
06:00 pm
– 07:00 pm
The group exhibition Toys Redux — On Play and Critique brings together artists who make creative use of formats and imagery from popular culture usually addressed to children or teenagers. Such adoptions and manipulations of motifs from video games, television shows, movies, and cartoons should not be seen as mere popcultural quotations: they simultaneously comment on the capitalist production of these consumer worlds.
With works by: Cory Arcangel, Alex Bag & Patterson Beckwith, Judith Bernstein, Vittorio Brodmann, Marvin Gaye Chetwynd, Simon Denny, Harun Farocki, Jan Peter Hammer, Nic Hess, Danny McDonald, Dawn Mellor, Claus Richter, Tabor Robak, Timur Si-Qin, Michael Smith, Lily van der Stokker, Julia Wachtel and Hannah Weinberger
Opening: 6–9 p.m.
6 p.m. Speeches by Heike Munder (director, Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst), Raphael Gygax (curator, Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst) and Judith Welter (collection curator, Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst)
6–8 p.m. Children's vernissage: The Atelier on the basement floor welcomes our little visitors with creative activities that playfully explore the art on display in the exhibition.
