SMILERS – a young New York City art space in East Village – has announced the opening of its newest exhibition, SMALL WORLD!, in summer 2026. The centerpiece will be a rooftop installation, consisting of a miniature golf course, which will be set up and available for visitors to play.
The creator of this installation – Igor Simić – has fashioned it to convey a vision of a post-capitalist future (or apocalypse!). Neon-colored sculptures are laid out as obstacles across a golf course designed by Simić. He approached SMILERS with this idea, which meshes together the digital and actual in a cute, low poly style that astutely reveals the adverse effects that global connectivity and rapid, internet-fed consumerism has on the human soul. Advanced tee time reservations can be made at the link above.
Stay tuned for more exciting news surrounding Igor Simić in 2026. A roster of video works by the artist which are available for distribution by Kinopravda Institute can be viewed on our Distribution page. For more information about rentals, please send your inquiries to → [email protected]
