Opening on April 25, 2024 artist Cory Arcangel initiates the project 'Let’s Play Majerus G3' at the Michel Majerus Estate, featuring a previously unexplored aspect of Majerus’ archive: his computer. Here, Arcangel takes as his point of departure the laptop that Majerus used in his late career, now reactivated following a restoration undertaken in cooperation with digital-art organization Rhizome. By examining this crucial tool, 'Let’s Play Majerus G3' — an expansive program comprising the exhibition at the Michel Majerus Estate, a talk, a performance and a YouTube series — allows unprecedented access to Majerus’ digital studio and the approaches that informed his work, representing a revolutionary development in the understanding of his practice, and allowing a uniquely first-hand glimpse, through the eyes of a fellow artist, into this rich primary source.
