A Dollhaus Group Show
UNWANTED AND MUTILATED TOYS TO PLAY WITH.
The idea is simple: all pieces submitted are a toy of some kind, either modified or wholly created by the artist. The group show will consists 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.
