New Voices in Art is a chamber game about about a group of aspiring artist the night before the opening of the exhibition ‘New Voices in Art’. The participants play a version of themselves as aspiring artists. The main themes of this game are ambition, ambivalence and aloneness. The world of modern art is used as a setting to symbolize our yearning for success and fulfillment as creative individuals. To produce this game you need a space that will function as the gallery in the game and as many pieces of art as there are participants playing artists. All information necessary for running this game can be found in the downloadable PDF file.

Had the pleasure of playing this small larp half a year ago. It created a beautiful drama around a random bunch of social and emotinal misfits; the artists. The simple method and setting made the players responcible for the drama, and we fuelled it with ease.
Both this and the larp “13 at the table” build upon the same “principles of ease” as my own games “Autumn of Life” and “Be calm, the plane is crashing” and “Stoke – Birmingham 0-0” (the last one may be had for free, in English, at Nørvegian Style). I believe so strongly in the qualities of these principles that I have planned two series of 9 games each on it.

[…] New Voices in Art … a dozen artist characters, a dozen random works of art, and a dozen random artist thoughts, such as “I think this could be my best work, but is it art?”. Set in a gallery, I think this would be great fun, and also quite easy to set up. It’s about 7 years old and I read somewhere that it’s one of the first to employ a meta-technique (not sure I can define that at the moment). Anyway, the meta technique is called ‘ping the glass’. Anyone can, at any time, ping the glass of another character, who then gives a monologue revealing the character’s innermost thoughts. The players can hear it, but the characters can’t! They then take a sip, and the action carries on as before. […]

[…] New Worcester in art (left this great autocorrect here) was the second of the bigger games we played and the only game that we played all together. Which makes sense there are very few games out there that can fit that many people with in such a short timeframe. The game is online here […]
