PSP-VR or 570063 or Stooge Ra or IDLE SERVER is pleased to announce the opening of its offline exhibition space in Charlottenburg and its inaugural exhibition titled ‘Kinetic Mugger’.
‘Kinetic Mugger’ takes its name from a side-scrolling computer game of the late 1990s. The game had seemingly irresolvable glitchy code, senseless proto-GTA ultra-violence, and a harsh electronic soundtrack. Never officially published, it was hidden, unsolicited, as an Easter egg on ARTPIX 1, a Contemporary Art CD ROM series curated by the painter Thomas Lawson.
This ancient artifact seemed relevant to us again in our own founding moment. Which is to say, ‘Kinetic Mugger’ is a side-scrolling exhibition. And by that, we mean it is essentially horizontal, but punctuated with some violent verticality.
The current iteration, conversely, is rigorously coded and follows its own internal logic. As such, it offers work by a singular group of artists working in a broad range of media and theoretical positions, from poetic lyricism to vulgar shitposting to life-destroying conceptualism.
We are thrilled to be joining the current glut of young galleries with strong programs in the city. Collectively they set a high standard and it's exciting to see this many innovative new spaces flourish. There’s so much interesting activity here that even the internet feels downstream from this evolving scene.
Meanwhile, the commercial old guard persists. They offer an important historical context and are, at the same time, essential to us as the reliable purveyors of the creeping terminal monotony.
Stooge etc. is on Schillerstraße half a block from Efremidis Gallery, who, after having occupied the former IBM space since 2018, have recently announced their imminent permanent closure.
Stooge Eternally Offline Viewing Rooms is an artist-run space, so let’s see what happens.
‘Kinetic Mugger’ begins on Thursday, June 6th, 2024 with an opening reception from 6 pm. The exhibition has been extednded to July 27th with a celebration held for the artists from 6-9 pm.
