Funny Games is an exhibition of reimagined classic games by artist Jen Clarke. Through seven modified works — from a Jenga tower built of natural resources to a Twister mat piled with impossible demands — the show asks what we learned before we knew we were learning it: that the odds are often stacked, the rules are rarely neutral, and the house almost always wins.
Woven throughout is a thread of genuine childhood nostalgia — paper garlands, coloring books, paint-your-own mask kits — because the critique lives alongside the fondness. Clarke isn't interested in cynicism. She's interested in the moment just before innocence dissolved into understanding, and what it means to play anyway.
