Far Cry 3 And The Stranger In A Strange Land This weekend, the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington DC opened the long-awaited exhibit The Art of Video Games. Walking into the museum, one immediately feels the whispered air that says: this is the home of Serious Art.
As far as I’m concerned the ‘are video games art’ conversation is about flaccid as it gets, and I have no intention of engaging with it, but the Smithsonian American Art Museum is currently running an exhibition titled ‘The Art of Video Games‘. Just sayin’.
The biggest game here in Washington, DC is usually the game of politics. But this weekend, the city will be hopping with something much more fun.
The Smithsonian American Art Museum’s “The Art of Video Games” exhibition opens next month. Which is exciting!
You did vote to get your favourite games into The Art of Video Games exhibit, didn’t you? If not, don’t crying that Buck Rogers: Planet of Zoom didn’t make it into the show. Anyway, we’re only two short months away from the exhibit’s opening of at the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Smithsonian’s announced that they’re holding a two-day celebration.
The fed’rul gummint may shut down in the next two days, but voting on which games will be featured in 2012′s “The Art of Video Games” won’t. It’s been extended another 10 days to April 17. Winners still will be announced May 7. The show will open March 16, 2012 at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington.
Video games? In the Smithsonian? It could happen sooner than you think, if “soon” for you is March of 2012, when the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, DC will feature the Art of Video Games exhibition.
