“A Game Without Rules”
The Wandering Room is a conceptual flux space Nisrine Boukhari developed during her research residency at UmArts Research Centre. It is a temporary site where ideas, thoughts, and experiences are ever-changing and nonlinear, driven by the mind-wandering state. Participants can engage with the suggested concept through perceptual drift, associative thinking, and individual tactics.
The theme of this version of the Wandering Room at UmArts studio is ‘A Game Without Rules’ inspired by the chess play after eliminating all the rules. This installation invites the audience into an open-ended, evolving game in which the traditional rules of chess are dismantled to encourage rethinking contemporary strategy in a world increasingly shaped by instability and unpredictability. Individuals start to reflect on their own tactics, set their own rules, and organise the game on their terms.
The afternoon at UmArts then continues with an Um...Crits, at 15.00-17.00, with the artist and researcher EvaMarie Lindahl. In the evening, UmArts Artist Researcher in Residence Zeno Gries is having an event at Galleri Verkligheten. Please join us for the whole afternoon and evening.
