"Dormitorium: Film Decors by the Quay Bros." Exhibition

The Sheila C. Johnson Design Center at Parsons The New School for Design

This event has ended.

The exhibition explores the macabre fantasy world of twin brothers Stephen and Timothy Quay through the highly detailed miniature sets of their influential stop-motion animations. Dormitorium represents the first time the sets (décors) of the London-based Quays have been exhibited in North America.
The Quay Brothers have built a cult following with their dark, moody films, which are heavily influenced by Eastern European film, literature, and music and often feature disassembled dolls and no spoken dialogue. The exhibition will combine 11 rarely seen, collaboratively designed miniature décors from some of the Quays’ most prominent works, as well as continuous screenings of excerpts from several of the films.
