Select Start to Continue: Thymine brings bittersweet Game Boy carts to Capsule Corner tonight ⊟
Just earlier this week, I raved about Thymine’s moving concept for Meteor’s My Famicase Exhibition in Tokyo, and now I see the artist has a solo show dedicated to similarly sentimental designs, except this time on Game Boy carts!
Opening tonight (7PM) at Capsule Corner – the “capsule-based micro-gallery exhibit” located at Downtown LA’s Hive Gallery & Studios – Thymine’s Select Start to Continue exhibit features 20 colorful hand-painted Game Boy cartridges with custom labels for titles like Selfcare and Everything Is OK.
“Using a piece of childhood nostalgia as the medium, Thymine portrays a juxtaposition of both light and dark that everyone experiences in life as they grow beyond those formative years. Presenting a wide breadth of emotions, some lighthearted and cute yet others heavy, dark, and solemn. These themes presented in the work are all results of experiences, and interests that have made the artist who she is through out the years – present and past.“
The cartridges will be sold for $45 apiece. You can preview a couple of these touching pieces after the break (Capsule says the show will run until June 13, and all pieces will be posted online after the opening.).
