GameSetWatch notes that Will Wright has signed on as one of several co-curators for an upcoming museum exhibition in Vancouver that mashes up the worlds of anima, comics and video games.
KRAZY! The Delirious World of Anime + Comics + Video Games + Art will be on show at the the Vancouver Art Gallery from May 17 through Sept. 7 and will feature original sketches, notes, concept drawings, animation cells, 3D models, published work and last, but certainly not least, a "sneak preview" of Spore.
The show will travel to New York next year.

So, does this mean that games are art?
I think I can hear the sky falling.
That picture looks like something by R. Crumb.
@peAr_nectAr: Actually its the cover of Dan Clowes' "Caricature". [www.amazon.com]
@peAr_nectAr: I was thinking the same thing.
Games are art. The sky already fell. We're covered in it now. It's like napalm, only it doesn't burn so much. And none of us are on LSD.
Okay. Some of us are on LSD.
Reminds me of glue.
@peAr_nectAr: Even if it's not, it's pretty similar.
Guess I'll be waiting until the show moves to San Francisco.
i am so there
I greatly look forward to this.
Alright, this bothers me a little. This is supposed to be a museum exhibition, not a convention kiosk. I don't want you to abuse the setting to tell me how totally awesome your game is and that I should totally pre-order it now.
This curator is equipped for gallery protection
Someone should call Mr Ebert and invite him to this obviously non-art being put on display in an obviously non-museum.
I hope that this passes through Detroit some time. Then again nothing passes through Detroit. Nevermind.
Is the title a pun about "Krazy Ken", or so? It looks like one of the giant faces here on kotaku. Does Will Wright read kotaku?
Hehe i knew someone would put in a WoW reference.
Woah, I might have to take a little trip to Vancouver.
@BigDanG: Ah, cool. Thanks.
