Game Show: An Exhibition Spring 2001-Spring 2002 Mass Moca

Why would a sane adult step outside the normal rules of society and agree to become a tiny metal top hat on a wild real estate-buying spree hoping to pass G0 and collect $200? Versions of this question have intrigued students of human nature for a long time, and their lines of inquiry are nearly as varied as the world of games itself. In Game Show, contemporary artists take their turn at bat, sometimes proposing answers, in other cases offering fresh rephrasings of the question: why games.
