Verena Issel: Geronto Games

Come and visit the latest exhibition by former artist-in-residence Verena Issel this Saturday at Kreuzberg Pavillon.

You have to imagine Geronto Games as the opposite of a modern, immersive game world. The hidden sandbox principle with which todays Open World computer games give their users certain freedom of action and allow them to become their own player personalities does not apply to people who play Geronto Games. Geronto Games deal with the construction of birdhouses from flower pots, appear as memory training, but also as time that concentrates only on feeling itself and turns to the small-scale recognition, ordering, sorting and remembering of everyday things. For IS IT A GAME? Verena Issel has developed her own spatial form within the exhibition space, in which she will further intensify Geronto Games as an offer of occupation.

Geronto Games is developed by Verena Issel in collaboration with Lisa Schorm and Heiko Pfreundt for the series IS IT A GAME? at Kreuzberg Pavilion and is realized together with Lukas Troberg. IS IT A GAME? is a series of experimental exhibitions about today's playing, realized with artists, game developers and gamers,

Supported by the Berlin Senate Department for Culture and Europe.
