RUSSIAN DOLL SHOW OPENS SOON
so it has come to my attention that there is a new gallery show tour that is opening up december 6th at the Hope Street Gallery in brooklyn NYC featuring craplog favorites such as nick zaremba, MCA of evil design, mister reusch, and kozyndan.
the show looks to be really interesting.
"Russian Nesting dolls (or Matryoshka dolls) combine beauty and intrigue. They lead two very separate lives, one as little statues on display, the other as interactive toys; each one opening up revealing a smaller one inside, creating a family of pear shaped characters.
The idea for this show resulted from the discovery that the dolls could be purchased in their raw wood state, unpainted. The challenge was to encourage artists who typically work 2-dimensionally to cross over to 3-dimensional work. The artists selected to participate in the show were chosen based on their artistic merit and enthusiasm. I also looked for work that lends itself to the ideas surrounding Matryoshka dolls, such as storytelling, and creating art in series. They range from commercial illustrators to fine artists, to graffiti writers, describing a wide range of styles and ideas."- Hustler of Culture
check it out when it comes to a city close to you. and drop by the website of the shows curator Eddie Martinez.

They have been so, frequently and outrageously, both in other countries and in this. But I do say, that in all disputes between them and their rulers, the presumption is at least upon a par in favour of the people.
