THE VICTORIA & ALBERT MUSEUM IS ABOUT TO KICK OFF A CELEBRATION OF MODERN GAMING
Starting in September at the Victoria & Albert Museum you’re going to be able to visit and experience a celebration of videogame design and culture unlike anything we’ve seen before. The V&A prides itself on being the leading museum of art and design, spanning works of architecture, fashion, photography, sculpture, jewellery and much more. Given the multifaceted array of objects and exhibits that the museum boasts, it feels like the perfect place to honour and mark the current state of the games industry; a place where design, art, building, coding, creating and moulding all merge together to form a single, final consumer experience.
“Normally we expect the question of, ‘Why here?’ and when you look at it, it’s a really perfect fit,” agrees Marie Foulston, curator of videogames at the V&A and ‘queen roughhouser’ at Wild Rumpus. “My background in games is that I’ve worked across a number of institutions, but my experience curatorially is that I co-founded the collective Wild Rumpus, which is a UK-based independent games collective who have thrown various events.”
