DUNGEON CRAWLER Opening Reception
August 3, 2018 @ 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Dungeon Crawler is comprised of immersive solo installations by Devra Freelander (Brooklyn), Jessica Gatlin (Nashville), and Cassie McQuater (Los Angeles) and spans across all Holland Project Galleries at the Vesta Street location. The exhibition began by considering the definition of the classic dungeon crawl video game genre: a protagonist is forced into a decaying planet, they make their way through a labyrinthine world by battling various enemies, and occasionally they pick up some loot along the way. Crawl games are often characterized by an elusive plot or lack of a foreseeable and logical end. Seeing this as a fitting description of how we navigate everyday life—minus any literal hack-and-slash—three artists that engage in topical issues were invited to conceptualize their own ‘dungeon’, with a specific emphasis on time based works.
Dungeon Crawler was curated by Alana-lynn Berglund. The exhibition is on view August 3 – 29, 2018 with an opening reception on 8/3 from 7PM-9PM. Gallery hours are Tu-Fri 3PM-6PM or by appointment. To make an appointment, please contact us at 775-742-1858 or alana@hollandreno.org
