I recently bought a bunch of little 1/2” plastic railroad people on a whim, and I of course use them in the most logical manner possible - I created a monumental art gallery for them! While this gallery box is only about 6 cubic inches, these little people make it feel like a huge, industrial space, art gallery. It will be fun to see how these teeny people shift how art is viewed.
The art shows installed in the Big Gallery will embrace a more ephemeral aesthetic and be on view for shorter amounts of time, but I am excited for a new way of working. I believe that through both gallery formats I will be able to share more art with a greater audience.
For the month of August, the Nicholas Quarry dollhouse gallery is part of my solo exhibition at the Langdon Divers Community Gallery in the Fond du Lac Public Library. I am enjoying having a second gallery to play with while the dollhouse is on the road.
