SHISH BISH – EXHIBITION

SHISH BISH 
 Game-based art exhibition 

Opening: Tuesday, 16 February from 2 pm to 11 pm

The exhibition runs until 3 March from 2 to 10 pm daily except Fridays at Medrar for Contemporary Art. 

Medrar and Makouk present “Shish Bish”, a one-of-a-kind art-based game exhibition to be both enjoyed visually and played. 

Following an intensive workshop exploring the connection between games and contemporary arts, the 12 participants invite players and art lovers to come over to Medrar to discover this playful exhibition they have put together. 

Combining the languages of games and art, and drawn by the common interest in the visual, five small groups have created games that enhance the interactive aspect of art creation. 

This vibrant exhibition offers a cross-medium range of art-based digital and analog games including installations and board games and delving into the digital and virtual experience.  

Among diverse dynamic creations, a space-based game will identify different physical and conceptual trajectories for walking through the exhibition leading visitors into a playful and artsy experience. 

Head on over to play with friends and new acquaintances and find inspiration.
