Are you looking to reignite that spark? A little over one month following a harrowing art week, Mak2 presents solo exhibition Art Survivors at DE SARTHE, featuring a first-person zombie shooting game set in an imaginary art fair as well as a new body of works on canvas titled Home From Home. The exhibition hints facetiously at the undercurrents of the art world system, offering a chance for escape, where players of the art world may decompress via a detachment from tangible reality and a self-deprecating laugh. Beyond a humorous critique of the art market, the exhibition is also a congratulatory nod toward those who have been able to survive thus far. Art Survivors is on view until June 22. All visitors are invited to play the game.
