Ludo or Counter Strike?

In the exhibition GetSet! artists participate and relate in various ways to the game world.
Exposed play and games are based on both lies and cooperation.
In the society more and more seems to be determined by various gaming methods. The dream of happiness is also a strong force in gaming. GetSet! problematizes the systems and structures that shape today’s game. Visitors will also be able to interact with the games on display. Are there limits to what you can play on?

Do you like gaming and to play? Do you think gaming is demoralizing? What is a game?
We have built up a game room where we want to investigate, respond to and philosophize about what arouses your desire or aversion to gambling. Artists are invited to show the explosive width that game and play represents. At GetSet! you will find everything from clueless humor to biting political realities. → more
