The Doll House
Curated by Mark Laliberte
January 8–February 6, 1999
The Doll House was an exhibition curated by Artcite board member and artist Mark Laliberte. Beginning with the idea that “the doll” is both an art object and cultural communicator, the curator invited a number of artists who use dolls as a central element in their art making. Laliberte states that the doll is a “cultural signifier possessing all the symbolic power of the real bodyhuman beings presented in an oversimplified state; idealized in the most artificial way.”
A catalogue for this exhibition with an essay by John Marriot was published by Artcite in the late Spring 1999.
