MTalks—'Curating Videogames in Museums' with the V&A's Marie Foulston
Jun 04, 2019•1 hr 3 min
Episode description
Join Marie Foulston, the chief curator of videogames at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum, in this discussion about the current climate, challenges and changing conversations around exhibiting videogames in museum spaces.
The lead curator of the V&A’s ambitious 2018/19 exhibition 'Videogames: Design/Play/Disrupt', Marie has championed the social and interactive nature of videogames, interrogating the medium through a design lens.
In a feature in the New York Times, Marie said: “People still justify video games as having value because of the amount of money they make, but that’s been true for a long time. We don’t talk about what makes them interesting as design. That’s what a museum can do.”
Marie was joined in conversation by Michael McMaster, co-director of the House House studio, makers of Push Me Pull You and the upcoming Untitled Goose Game.
