Gallery 1988: Melrose in Santa Monica, California played host to “Multiplayer x2,” featuring the pixelated posters of more than 30 artists riffing on Golden Age video games. It was a follow-up to 2011’s “Multiplayer” show at Gallery 1988: Venice. The show ran from February 10 through March 3. 2012.
Below, some of our favorite prints from the show, courtesy of the folks over at Gallery 1988.
