UNWANTED AND MUTILATED TOYS TO PLAY WITH Saturday, February 8th - Saturday, March 8th, 2003 Closing Reception: Saturday, March 8th, 2003 7pm - Late The Dollhaus Gallery has been open in Williamsburg for 7 months and has shown a variety of unknown artists. Now, the Dollhaus presents its first group show: "The Terrible Toy Fair." The idea is simple: all pieces submitted must be a toy of some kind, either modified or wholly created by the artist. The group show will consist of over 53 artists, some local and some from New Orleans. Incorporated into the show is the art of 13 high school students who were inspired by the art they saw in the Dollhaus and created a project based around it. The idea of a toy-based show is a continuation of the Dollhaus theme. The artists shown have all been highly bizarre, yet have retained a child-like sense of playfulness in their work. Also, the work at the Dollhaus is well executed and skillful, always valuing technique as much as concept. As well as the work in the gallery, the Dollhaus has a unique permanent collection of works in "The Toy Shop", which is full of curious toys, dolls, and other hand-made oddities. Pick Up Your Toy Day Sunday, March 9th, 2003 1pm - 1am This day is for all the artists to come and rescue their terrible toy or meet their new owners and wish them a fair well. The films will start at 5pm and we will show terrible children's films. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT SCHEDULED EVENTS, CONTACT: MADAME_DOLLHAUS@DOLLHAUS.ORG |
