Daniel Tuomey: Control Centre Charlois
Pallas Projects/Studios are pleased to present Daniel Tuomey鈥擟ontrol Centre Charlois the first exhibition of our 2023 Artist-Initiated Projects programme.
For this exhibition Daniel Tuomey gathers a body of work which uneasily layers roleplaying games with the alienation of life under bureaucratic biometric capitalism. This layering is staged in Charlois, the neighbourhood in the south of Rotterdam where the artist has lived for the past seven years.
Charlois鈥攁n area traditionally occupied by dock workers, immigrants and squatters鈥攊s currently the target of a public-private gentrification project. Dutch government rezoning incentivises and supports the work of unscrupulous private housing developers. In game design terms: a process of weaponised worldbuilding.
The exhibition transforms Pallas into a remote operation station for the neighbourhood: a space flickering between harbour control centre and teen gamer鈥檚 bedroom, a traditionally gendered enclave in crisis, a desperate altar to the mastery of space.
