Doll-Like brings together artists working across disciplines and media who integrate ideas pertaining to dolls into their artwork. Puppets, marionettes, figurines, action figures and even living dolls are substitutes for our self, offering a vehicle to communicate and examine ideas about play, therapy, magic, ritual, spirituality, memory, scale, empathy, identity, gender and notions of beauty and idealized form. Subverting traditional ideas that we associate with this familiar emblem of our individual and collective humanness, this show aims to challenge our preconceptions and stereotypes.
This exhibit is located at:
John Slade Ely House
51 Trumbull Street, New Haven, CT | 203-624-8055

Opening reception
, Saturday, May 24, noon until 2
Por Oaxaca
is the end stage of the Postal Art Project organized and curated by
the Mexican artist, Catalina Barroso-Luque, who sent a seemingly
straightforward photograph taken in Oaxaca, Mexico to a selection of
local and international artists in China, Mexico, England and
Connecticut and asked them to respond.
The responses
received were unexpected and varied. The apparent diversity of works
stemming from the same image brings out issues of cultural tourism,
analog vs. digital technology, image-media mediation over our
engagement with reality, cultural aesthetics, and the prevalence of a
western hegemony over contemporary artistic production.
Also on view, in the Main Reading
Room, is a display of Postales Mestizas,
by Catalina Barroso-Luque. The
artist has fashioned these small-scale
works out of collaged, collected post-cards and other found images,
and her own discarded photo-prints. They are an intuitive recycling of
the artist's physical and mental imagery that aims to bring into
question the boundaries between personal and collective
memory.
