Game of Goose is a site-specific exhibition by multidisciplinary artist Maayan Elyakim, created for the VDL House in Los Angeles. Curated by Dan Handel, the exhibition draws its name from the historic board game and explores movement, chance, and shifting mental landscapes, transforming the modernist residence into a reflective and dynamic experience.
Delving into the lesser-known dimensions of the VDL House, the exhibition weaves a narrative shaped by its history as a home, social hub, and workspace. Inspired by the House’s interplay of carefully designed boundaries that allow for constant fluctuations of movement, social interactions, and mental states, each artwork in the exhibition resonates this duality in microcosm. The exhibition’s spatial journey—from the ground floor entrance to the rooftop—is conceived as an intensifying gradient, transitioning from the cerebral to the experiential, much like navigating a three-dimensional game board.
This exhibition is made possible through the generous support of Elital and Jason Arison, Nancy M. Berman, Reva Kahn, Dudi Lazar, Ann and Dr. Ari Rosenblatt, Orly and Avishai Shachar, AIDA, Artis, Artport, Manifest Institute, Pais Council for Culture and Arts, and the Rabinowitz Foundation, with in-kind production support provided by Kvadrat and VS Furniture.
