The Cursed Chateau

 
 



Artist/curator Timothy Hutchings has collected a disparate band of contemporary artmakers, including performance artists, digital artists, sculptors, painters, musicians and various in-betweens, all united by a direct or indirect relationship to role playing games such as Dungeons and Dragons.  Hutchings has shoved these artists into the unaccustomed role of illustrators for the role playing game  adventure book "The Cursed Chateau", written by James Maliszewski.


The participating artists include Chris Bors, Olaf Breuning, Jeffrey Brown, Kitty Clark, Alexander DeMaria, Don Doe, Giovanni Fenech, Andrew Guenther, Ketta Ioannidou, Josh Jordan, Matt Lock, Fiona Macneill, Chris Patch, Jason Phillips, Owen Rundquist, Rebecca Schiffman, Siebren Versteeg, Todd White, Sherry Wong, Kadar Brock and Steve Zeiser.  Also contributing are the old school game illustrators Pixie Bledsaw and the renowned Erol Otus.


Concurrent with the exhibition at the Indianapolis Museum of Contemporary Art will be a related booth at GenCon, a yearly gaming convention hosted in Indianapolis.  GenCon is the most important game event in the world, attracting tens of thousands of visitors and acting as a platform for major industry releases and premieres.  This year, GenCon runs August 13 - 16, more information on the convention is available at www.gencon.com.
