The Art of Gaming exhibition held as part of the huge upcoming E3 electronic gaming convention in LA will showcase the talents of urban artists applied to both Xbox 360 and PSP faceplates. The exhibition sponsored by Pelican will be located in the West Hall of the LA Convention center in Room 505 from May 10th to 12th during E3.
The exhibition will also feature live painting by Swank, Eyeone, Ed Rico, Kyle Tomas and Eric Orr. Gaming is a huge part of our culture and so it’s only fitting that it provides yet another canvas for artistic expression. While the I-am 8-bit show featured art based on video games, this event is about video game systems as art. I should mention that E3 is an industry-only event and not open to the public. I’m not sure if this particular exhibition will be open to the public or not.
