Let’s Pretend

Game cards that will help you talk about art — and not just art! — as well as to dream and have fun!

Designer Alexei Ivanovsky and illustrator Tim Yarzhombek have created a set of "game research cards" about the GES-2 season’s exhibitions. The cards give brief information about the art works on display and also suggest activities to help visitors think about what they saw at the House of Culture and form their own opinions.

Families with children can pick up the cards at the GES-2 information desk. We also have mediated tours based on the cards (prior registration required).

I borrowed my main technique from Viktor Shklovsky — “ostranenie”, the ability to make something strange again. We come up with formats in which the ordinary is seen from a new angle and dazzles anew. This removes the familiar from it, and we again feel how much exquisite, subtle and quiet happiness and beauty there is in the world.

— Alexei Ivanovsky, designer
