“A journey into the Universe of Art Toys”
will be the twentieth temporary exhibition, since the year 2009, organized by Tolosa Puppets International Center – Topic
Museum- http://www.topictolosa.com/es/museo.html . It will be open
from 21th October 2017 until March 2018. And this will be the first museum in
the world to examine the current artistic trend linked to the Art Toys in
relation to the Puppets and with the objective in addition that the public can
have a contemporary vision of the Universe of Art Toys.
An Art Toys Exhibition coordinated and
directed by the Topic Museum, curated and organized by artistic and international “Art
Toy Gama” Collective in the city of Tolosa, province of Guipúzcoa, in the
Basque Country, Spain. www.instagram.com/arttoygama
More than 50 artists of different trends
and disciplines from 16 countries.
(SPAIN, CHILE, ITALY, ARGENTINA, COLOMBIA, RUSSIA, USA, UK, PERU, SINGAPORE,
MEXICO, AUSTRALIA, JAPAN, CROATIA, POLAND, BOLIVIA and FRANCE)
But what is the value of linking, or rather,
incorporating the Art Toy universe into the Art of Puppets as a
"contemporary module"?
Can we say that there is a kind of common
narrative?
What ecosystem do they share?
Is there any ascendancy between
Puppets and Art Toys?
And with the Toys? And also, why Art Toys are pieces of
contemporary collectible art?
This is
what we talk about in the Exhibition, also write in some of the essays included
in the Museum Catalog - just with the artworks by artists of the Exhibition,
and will also reflect on the Art Toy Gama Blog over time... http://arttoystheoryandcriticism.tumblr.com/
