The
game field in this exhibition stands for a place
where fun can suddenly turn into seriousness.
"Spielfeld Universal" is concerned with
what lies at the very heart of a game: the game
field as board and precondition for the players.
In visual arts, the game all times played a central
role. It is an inherent part of human nature and
creates space for the inconscious activity of
mind.
The invited artists realize their ideas concerning
this broad subject in photographs, objects and
installations. The artistic formulations range
from gambling machines of passion to images of
battle fields of sports. The notion "universal"
in the exhibition title is well to be understood
as "global": games bear down cutural
and economic frontiers; some are accessible from
around the globe through the world wide web.
